Aurora, Ill.
Two Illinois families enjoyed a special Thanksgiving together this year.
Last month, U.S. Postal Service mail carrier Jaylen Lockhart was working when he saw Guy Miller fall while walking his dog.
WLS reported that Lockhart stopped what he was doing to help Miller.
Aurora city officials said without the mail carrier’s actions, the holidays may have been a different story for the Millers.
The city shared pictures of the two families celebrating Thanksgiving while giving their thanks.
“We are family now,” Lockhart said. “And for that, I will forever be grateful.”
The families said they are also planning on getting together for Christmas.
