There's good news tonight. So often the good news doesn't get as much attention as the bad. So every Saturday, we highlight the many people who spread joy and love. These are just some of those stories this week. There he is. No, there he is. This is the moment Jim and Lisa Oates met their hero. That's Denver Advent Healthporter ICU nurse, nick Johnson. The couple was alone riding bikes on a Colorado trail when Jim went into a cardiac arrest. That's finally nice to meet you. By luck, nick was also on the trail and jumped into action doing CPR that helped save Jim's life. Okay, ready? For the grandparents of five, Nick's life-saving aid has given Anne and Jim a precious future with family. Your efforts have led to me being in a situation where I can enjoy the family. I can enjoy my experiences. Thank you, nick. I don't know what to say. I just want to keep saying thank you. This was a surprise. Here's a dad going the distance. Mark Lee traveled across the country to surprise his LA Charger son Shane in practice. Hey, Tara. Good to see you. I don't want to see you again.

Mark bouncing back from a massive heart attack he had earlier this year, showing Shane and the whole team what grit looks like. So what I say to you guys is never quit. Anything is possible. Anything. Hey, Tara. It's a super reward, guys. And How's this for a celebration in the sky? That's United Express Flight First Officer Zaline DiCotto, surprising her dad. She took me. She took me to New Mexico. She did trick you. A hard-working immigrant who sacrificed so much for the family. Daddy, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support throughout my flight career. Your belief in me has been the wind beneath my wings. And here Los Angeles. We were so moved to see these first responders showing up to support the family of a beloved colleague. Some 75 members from the LA County Sheriff's Department bringing the two children of Deputy Gonzalo Gálvez to their first day of school. Gonzo, as they called him, died of cancer earlier this month. For these guys, it was a chance to let Gonzo's little ones know they will never be alone. What did Gonzo mean to you? He was a great mentor.

We obviously can't replace him as dad, but we can offer the support that they need throughout the rest of their lives. What's the bigger message here? We're a family. We're all going to back each other up. Even when you're gone, we're still going to be there for your family. Thanks for watching.
