BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV/CNN)— It's the 1-year anniversary of when a South Carolina deputy pulled over a speeding driver and saved a newborn's life.
A 12-day-old baby girl was in the vehicle, choking to death.
Deputy William Kimbro performed CPR and got her breathing again.
He passed her off to medical personnel, but she didn't leave his life.
It's a day Kimbro will never forget.
"Today, one year ago, is the day that I met Ryleigh when I saved her life," he said.
So, when the doorbell rang last night, Deputy Kimbro couldn't wipe the smile away.
"Giving her a hug, and I look over her shoulder, and there's Miss Ryleigh and her mom walking in. I said you got to be kidding me. You surprised me. You got me. And, they're like, 'Yes, we did,'" said Dep. Kimbro.
It's not like he hasn't seen her lately.
"On May 31st was Miss Ryleigh's 1-year-old birthday, so she had her birthday, and it was just phenomenal. We went to the birthday. And, it was great," said Dep. Kimbro.
Last week, Kimbro came bearing gifts. But this week, it was Ryleigh who had a surprise.
"I was finally able to scratch it off, and, underneath the scratcher, it says 'Will you be my godfather?' My jaw just dropped. And, I just had this look on her, on my face. And, I just looked at Ryleigh, who was sitting on her grandma's lap. And, I just said, absolutely, yes, absolutely, and my wife got the same card," said Kimbro.
The video simply tells the story here.
A family more that grateful for an officer.
An officer now becoming family.
All because of one day: June 11, 2019.
"What was the reason that I actually went down that street, you know? Because there were 5, 6, 7 other streets I could have gone down. You know what? As the saying goes, 'God works in mysterious ways,'" said Kimbro.

The uncertainty that has come with battling the coronavirus pandemic has been incredibly stressful for most people, especially those with children. Thousands have lost their jobs or are managing businesses that are in financial trouble. Those of us that have been lucky enough to have an income find ourselves trying to work full-time from home while caring for young children, or possibly worse, trying to work full-time while simultaneously home-schooling older children. Juggling so many responsibilities while dealing with an uncertain future can take a toll on our mental health. And on top of that, it's easy to deprioritize our own needs while trying to keep up with those of our family members and colleagues. But there's a good reason not to let your own mental health fall by the wayside: namely, that your mental health can potentially have a long-lasting impact not just on your general well-being, but on your child's as well.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carter's, the largest U.S. retailer of baby clothes, is taking an important first step towards limiting toxic chemicals in its supply chain, and it is doing so as a result of pressure from Green America and its members. Green America launched a campaign in 2019 and published a report showing Carter's was among the worst actors in the textile industry on environmental and social practices. Nearly 15,000 consumers have joined Green America in calling on Carter's to clean up its supply chain and release a Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL), which would go a step further than an Restricted Substances List (which only protects consumers) by limiting harmful chemicals that workers and their communities are exposed to in the manufacturing process. Carter's actions include releasing an RSL, disclosing information about energy usage and waste reduction, and providing greater transparency about efforts to protect human...
