????年齡：58歲

????職務：空中乘務員

????任職公司：西南航空公司

????地理位置：奧克蘭，加利福尼亞州

????黛安娜?阿門達里茲?基尼性格外向，侃侃而談。珍妮?諾蘭德則更加安靜。珍妮身材高挑，一頭金發。黛安娜的個頭較矮，有橄欖色的皮膚。但在2012年2月，這兩位西南航空公司員工（Southwest Airlines，上圖左側為基尼）和她們的家人卻恰好乘坐了同一個航班。黛安娜開始與珍妮的父親聊天。閑聊中，她了解到，珍妮和她的媽媽及三個兄弟姐妹，都患有多囊性腎病。當時來到西南航空剛三個月的黛安娜轉過頭悄悄對丈夫說：“我感覺上帝在告訴我，應該捐給她一個腎，你覺得可以嗎？”之后，她和珍妮再也沒有見過面，直到四個月后在菲尼克斯進行手術的那一天。甚至一直到了六月份的那個早上，珍妮依舊不敢相信：“一個陌生人竟然要送給我一樣可以改變我生活的禮物。”腎臟移植非常成功。五月份，黛安娜從空中乘務員學校畢業。所有人都知道誰將在畢業典禮上替黛安娜戴上那枚翼型勛章。

????Dianne Armendariz Keeney

????Age 58

????Occupation Flight Attendant

????Company Southwest Airlines

????Location Oakland, Calif.

????Dianne Armendariz Keeney is a chatty extrovert; Jainey Norlander, not so much. Jainey is tall and blond. Dianne is short and olive-skinned. But the two Southwest employees (pictured together above, Keeney at right) and their families happened to be sitting together on a flight in February 2012, and Dianne got Jainey’s dad talking. She learned that Jainey, along with her mother and three of her siblings, suffered from polycystic kidney disease. Dianne, who had been with the company only three months, immediately leaned over to her husband and whispered, “I fell like God is telling me to give her my kidney. Is that okay with you?” She and Jainey did not see each other again until the day of the surgery in Phoenix, four months later. Even that June morning, Jainey couldn’t believe it: “This stranger was going to give me something that was going to change my life.” The transplant was a success and in May, Dianne graduated from flight attendant school. When it came time for Dianne to receive her wings at graduation, there was little doubt who would pin them on.
