Couple Accidentally Texts Strangers About Newborn, Strangers Show Up to Congratulate Them

[one_voice]

at Hospital

A texting mix-up over a newborn resulted in a heartwarming moment between strangers.

Tallahassee, Florida, man Dennis Williams received a group text on Saturday, March 19, informing him that a couple was having a baby.

"We are at the hospital. Having a baby today!" the text read, followed by, "She has dilated to between 5-6."

"Congrats lol but I think someone got the wrong number," Dennis wrote back after he and his brother Deorick Williams read the message

But that text went unheeded, and soon enough, the pair received a picture of the newborn, to which Dennis responded, "Well I don't know y'all but me and the boys will be thru to take picture with the baby."

*snip*

The family, Lindsey and Mark Knox and their newborn son Cason, later posted on Facebook about the whole thing themselves, writing, "What a blessing these two guys were to our family. They were so sweet and kind to do this! You 2 are great guys and thank you for giving to someone you didn't know! If we all only had this kind of a heart."

[ScreamingMeemie]

Real life can be a real... something-or-other.

3. That's really sweet

It's things like this that give me hope for the human race.

4. I had to kick & rec this.

I had to kick & rec this. We're surrounded by far more good, kind, decent and caring people than we want to admit to ourselves. We call them "sheeple" or "dumb Americans" to make ourselves feel more clever, but it's a damn sight harder to make ourselves feel more kind by doing that.

8. I got a very embarassing wrong number text recently

someone freaking because they just found out they were breast fed until age four.

What do you say to that? Um, I know you're going to feel like an ass, but this is the wrong number?

[Human101948]

10. "I was almost six before Mom weaned me!" is the appropriate response...

Make them feel better.

[snooper2]

16. You reply, so do you remember what that sweet sweet milk tastes like?

[awoke_in_2003]

22. You want embarrassing?

A coworker group texted me and my supervisor that he wasn't coming in because he threw out his back. He then sent a text to the woman he spent the night with (he thought) saying he enjoyed being tied up, and he was glad she had multiple orgasms, because he is a giving guy. Awkward. To this day when he calls in sick, and my super tells me, I say "he must be tied up".

[Matariki]

23. Lol

Did you all ever tell him you got that text?

[awoke_in_2003]

25. Yeah, he realized it

when my super answered back with "I don't think you meant that for us"

[3catwoman3]

26. Oh, jeez. I would have to look for...

...a new job, not that there is any likelihood that I would ever send a message like that.

[awoke_in_2003]

29. He is in his 60's

He is probably proud

[3catwoman3]

30. "He is in his 60s." So am I.

I would still have to look for somewhere else to work, or decide it was time to retire.

[awoke_in_2003]

31. I hope I am as lively

as you all are in 12 years

[UtahLib]
