In an enchanting celebration, a little girl and the police officer who saved her life came together to share a delightful tea party that showcased their unique friendship. Two-year-old Mia and Officer Jake Thompson from the Rowlett Police Department met under dire circumstances last summer when Mia was playing in her backyard pool with her family. Her mother, Laura, quickly realized something was off when she saw Mia’s lips turning blue.
“He just went completely still. It was more than falling asleep. She collapsed in my arms,” Laura recalled. “I looked into her eyes and saw a distance that terrified me. We had no idea she had swallowed a coin.” When Mia’s father dialed 911, Officer Thompson, who happened to be close by during his lunch break, responded to the emergency call. His body camera recorded the tense moment in which he saved Mia’s life in just 27 seconds.
“I heard [Thompson’s] siren and dashed out the front door. He took Mia from me, trying to pry her mouth open,” Laura recounted. “He performed a finger sweep, and suddenly a penny fell out. That’s when we heard the most beautiful sound—her coughing and crying.” Officer Thompson described that moment as the most beautiful sound he had ever experienced.
Since that fateful day, Mia and Officer Thompson have developed a remarkable friendship, culminating in a tea party to commemorate their bond. “I couldn’t resist this opportunity; it was incredibly special for both Mia and Laura,” Thompson said. “I have two boys, so I don’t often get to enjoy these moments with a little girl. She’s a sweetheart. She’s become my best friend.”
The two families have grown close, celebrating birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas together. “Words can’t express my gratitude. I hold all police officers in high regard, but there’s no way to repay Thompson for what he did,” Laura expressed.
Looking ahead, the friendship is set to continue as Officer Thompson added, “We’re connected for life. I can’t wait to see her grow up, maybe even watch her get married one day. She could have lost her life that day, and I feel incredibly fortunate.”
