[SERIOUS] When did you save someones life only for the to become a big part of yours?

As a kid I use to go to the beach with my school mate, in the summer of 2002, while we were swimming and fooling around we saw this girl raising her hands, suddenly I realised she was drowning, I tried to grab her hands but she scratched me & pulled my hair, I panicked and somehow while she grabbed my head and neck, we swimmed to safety while my friend yelled. finally we got to beach I couldn't even talk since I drank so much sea water. we were safe. the girl was with her family; mother, father and another sister, they were unaware except for her sister, when I caught my breath I told her what just happened to us, she got me a bottle of water and a chocolate bignet (similar to a doughnut). and that's it, I never saw her again.
