I never thought twice about it. A week later, my mom called in a frenzy: \u201cStuart! Turn on the TV \u2014 NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There on the screen were the very same couple, telling the world about the stranger who saved them. Their granddaughter, a journalist, had filmed the whole thing \u2014 including a photo of me, crouched in the snow like a half-frozen mechanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They asked me on live TV to reach out, so I did. What started as a simple thank-you dinner became something much bigger: that night, I met their granddaughter, Angie \u2014 the woman who would later become the love of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years later, Angie and I are engaged, Emma calls her \u201cmy almost-mom,\u201d and my parents swear that one flat tire changed the fate of our family.
