Good news savvy stories every day on the show canly
would you find?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
This is so sweet? So a diving team in South
Carolina helped find and return a wedding ring that was
lost for twenty five years. As the story goes, David
and Lisa Allen were college sweethearts who married years ago,
but when David fell into alcoholism, that all changed. What
really made a difference for me was when she filed
for divorce. And that was like somebody pulled the rug
out from under my life, you know, my wife and

(00:23):
my three kids, said David. He started his journey to
sobriety as their divorce was finalized, losing weight in the process,
and as he sat on his brother's dock in nineteen
ninety eight, his ring slipped off, you know, after losing
all that weight. Twenty five years later, the two lovebirds
reconnected over a song and we just started dancing, said Lisa,
and I just saw a different person in that moment.

(00:44):
The pair was back together, but Lisa's ring lacked its partner.
That's when the Lake Heartwell divers got involved. They've helped
now reunite the owners and their missing ring after years,
which completed their amazing liss.

Seventy five year old man named Bill announced his retirement
earlier this year after working at the F and M
Bank and Lodie for almost half a century. He's never
taken a day off or called in sick, and now
he's planning more family time and more traveling to see
his four children and eight grandchildren. He also coaches Little
League baseball. He's been doing that longer than he's been working.
And no, he's never skipped a single practice. Oh wowow.

mental health comes.
