They were driving to meet up with each other on Christmas Eve, but first, a husband and wife made two separate pit stops to help save a few lives.
KFOR reports that Crystal Travis kicked things off Sunday in Cleveland County, NC, when she saw flames coming out of a home. Travis, who was on her way home after visiting a relative with her 14-year-old daughter, says they pulled over and helped a family with a baby escape, as well as drag Christmas gifts away from the burning residence, CNN reports. "It was just all really fast, really chaotic," she tells WSOC
After first responders arrived, Travis' daughter called husband and dad Roger Travis, and they decided to meet at a nearby restaurant.
Then Roger Travis found himself in the same role as his wife and daughter: that of serendipitous stranger. He says he was driving past a local mall when he saw a car on the median, and when he pulled over, he saw a baby on the ground who wasn't breathing, per CNN.
Roger Travis, an ex-volunteer firefighter and first responder, says he and a firefighter on the scene administered CPR until the baby started making noises and once more drawing breaths.
The Travises are calling their joint rescues a "Christmas miracle," per WSOC. "What are the odds? This is the craziest day ever," Crystal Travis says. Her husband adds, "God put us at the right moment, at the right time, for the people that needed us the most."
I was thinking how to work the phrase "hold my beer" into that situation.

By the Official Rules of Being Southern, it must include the words "Watch this" or it doesn't count. 3 trips to the ER and you get a free sundae at Dairy Queen.
