In what feels like a very divisive world, you hear sometimes hear about great deeds. Some tug at the heart strings. A local Phoenix fire captain shows us all that a small deed can lead to big things.
Capt. Gary Hernandez is a fire investigator with the Phoenix Fire Department. He traveled to New York City for a vacation with his family. They stopped at a diner in Midtown for a bite to eat. At a table next to them was a 13-year-old girl named Natalie Stafford, sitting with her grandparents. They, too, were visiting the Big Apple. At some point, Hernandez sparks up a conversation with the family. It turns out Natalie's grandparents lived in Arizona for a bit. So, it was a little chit chat, nothing special.
Natalie and her grandparents leave but return about 20 minutes later. Hernandez noticed their moods had changed.
"You can see the young girl had tears in her eyes," Capt. Hernandez said.
