So we’ve all texted a wrong number or two in our time, but this accidental text definitely Takes. The. CAKE!!!
An unlikely union of strangers won over the Internet after the remarkable story was posted to both Reddit and Imgur.
Mark and Lindsey Knox were having a baby, and in true 21st-century style, the proud new mama wanted to group text her family and friends the good news.
The baby’s grandmother, Teresa Lashley, sent out the text below without realizing that she got a wrong number added into the mix.
The text was sent to brothers Deorick and Denis Williams, who initially responded with a “wrong number” message. However, the ecstatic grandma seemed to completely ignore the text, and she just fired right back with an adorable picture of the infant.
While many people would ignore or block such a bizarre text from a stranger, these guys had a different idea…
As baby lovers themselves, they thought, “Hey, why not join in on the newborn celebration?!”
Deorick and Denis headed straight to the hospital, bearing gifts for mom and baby to boot!
Three texts ago, they were strangers, and now these guys are practically family!
The touched grandmother posted the above picture to Facebook along with this caption:
“I accidentally [texted] a message about Mark and Lindsey having a baby to a number I had in my phone for someone else which now belongs to Mr. Dennis Williams and he and his brother came by to visit us and brought the baby a gift! What a blessing these two guys were to our family. They were so sweet and kind to do this! You 2 are great guy sand thank you for giving to someone you didn’t know! Many blessing I pray for you. I think his brother was Derrius Williams. Cason Knox, Lindsey, & Mark Lashley thanks you. Please share this with anyone you know and hopefully these guys will see. If we all only had this kind of heart.”
Well, these sweet young brothers sure restored my faith in humanity! And this precious newborn just gained two awesome new uncles in his first day on the planet. I’d say he’s off to a pretty good start!
Wishing all the best to this beautiful new (blended) family! 🙂
