Unless you meant it figuratively that is a priceless gift no matter the situation. I don't think anything materially can express the gratitude or reciprocate the enormity of life giving. I’ll call it that because presumably you would have passed on. Similarly, we can never give back at full capacity to our parents, especially our mother for bringing us into the world. As Beyonce said, "Are you thankful for the hips that cracked? The deep velvet of your mother and her mother and her mother?"
No matter the joy, the sorrow, the pain, whatever story comes with your breath into the world, it would not have happened if two people did not come together to make life. There are 7.2 billion of us, the possibility that you are you is one. If we took a second to think about how fragile it is that we came to be, I think we would all appreciate our life a little more. On that note, the person that saved you has called upon that same love.
For me, If I had the opportunity to save a life, the best gift would be for that person to live it to their fullest potential and to share love and life to all those around them. Don't squander it, make meaning, make the world better than it is.
