Deputy Sheriff Heather’s life was forever changed when she suffered a severe car accident in Florida. As she dropped into a ditch, severely injured, she saw a tall stranger come to her rescue. The man called for help, lifted her out of the debris, and held her until emergency services arrived. Heather survived that terrifying accident because of his help, and for this reason, she never forgot this man.
A year after the accident, Heather expressed her “only wish” to meet Julius, the man who saved her life. Her family surprised her by fulfilling her wish, and the heartwarming video of their reunion went viral on social media. In the video, Heather is surprised to see Julius and immediately goes next to him and hugs him.
She looks visibly emotional and happy as she talks to her hero. At last, they hug each other again. Pictures of the car crash and a hospitalized Heather are also seen in the video. But, the video ends on a happy note with Heather and her family posing for a picture with Julius.
The social media users were moved by the video, and many praised Julius for his heroic act. The video was shared widely, and many people expressed their admiration and gratitude towards Julius. @Katheryn Golden wrote, “LET’S DO SOMETHING FOR HIM.” While, @Dirt Star Deborah wrote, “Gentle giant.
