A hilarious text mix-up about a newborn led to a sweet moment between strangers.
A woman who intended to text family members about the birth of her baby accidentally texted a complete stranger.

Williams congratulated the family and told them they had the wrong number, but the texts kept coming.

Instead of just ignoring the texts, Williams replied: “Well I don’t know y’all but me and the boys will be thru to take (a) picture with the baby.”

Williams came through on the promise. He and his brother showed up at the hospital to see the family and the baby, and they even brought gifts with them.

I've seen quite a number of wrong number texting stories. Stuff like a kid texting the wrong selfie to her dad and getting grounded, someone trying to order pizza from a random guy who wouldn't deliver, etc. I had a text asking me to make sure someone's lamb has water--that one was odd, because it was addressed to Aunt (my actual first name).
This story was so sweet that I just had to share!
Yep. This one gets you in the feels, to use modern kid language.
Yes, we do need that reminder once in a while.
Yes, it is!
Any time I get a phone call outside of “normal” hours, I get worried. There is no real reason (for me) to worry, though, since bad news has always arrived during “normal” hours, and the calls at odd times have always been wrong numbers.
Anyway, I’m glad it wasn’t your family member!
