“I got done with work that day and we were going to the fire hall to hang out, having a couple drinks with some people, and I wanted to go home around 10 o'clock,” said Smith.

On that cold night last February, Justin Smith walked out of the Treskow fire hall, but never made it home. His father Don found him the next day on the side of Treskow Road.

"I looked over and there was Justin laying there and he was laying face up,” said Don Smith. "He was blue. His face he was lifeless. I checked for a pulse. I checked for a heartbeat. There was nothing.”

Justin Smith, 26, only lost his pinky fingers and his toes thanks to the doctors who would not give up.

Heartwarming story of a frozen kitten brought back to life by a persistent Utah kid on Thanksgiving 2015.
However, it's telling that the children had no idea who Lazarus was... :

"Originally named "Lazarus" by Becca, the kitten has become Branden Bingham's "best buddy," he said.

"My kids have no idea who Lazarus is and they want to call him Olaf because they know Olaf as this thing raised from the snow and given life," he added. "So his name is Lazarus-Olaf and anyone can call him what they want."

Certainly a lot to be thankful for !
This touching story was a rare piece of good news for today's newspaper readers, amongst so much dark reporting.
