The mother of a man who survived the Tennessee Waffle House shooting is honoring a waitress for saving her son's life.
"I'm a servant of God. We're all supposed to help people, right,?" said Vickie Davs.
In April, Davis's son Michael was at the Antioch Waffle House with a friend. A worker named Virginia Stanley asked them to change seats. "She was washing dishes and she didn't want to get water on them. Soon after that's when everything started," Davis recalled.
That's when a man walked in to the restaurant and started firing shots. Four people were killed, and Michael and his friends likely would have been too, if Stanley didn't ask them to move.
"She's my hero. She's my personal hero," Vickie says.
Davis met Virginia Stanley and learned she was engaged to be married. She came up with a plan that involved Glitz Nashville, a store that donates wedding dresses tso veterans and first responders. Davis asked the store if they could make an exception, and give a dress to a hero instead.
Glitz agreed, and Virginia's fiancee says the gesture has given them hope in humanity again, after surviving the worst humankind can serve up.
"I didn't know that, but that's what the mission is," Vickie Davis reflected. "We're all out here to help one another. That's all part of our mission to be there for somebody else."
