I love this!! A co-worker dialed the wrong area code while trying to call long distance. A lady on the other end 1200 miles away picked up the phone. A brief "I apologize" moment turned into a nearly hour long talk. Long story short, more phone calls and now they've been married since 1981.

Well said Jeff. On point!
The night my late sister had her last and final brain hemorrhage, she managed to crawl to the phone to dial her best friend. But she dialed an incorrect number. The woman she got talked to my sister and got the correct number, and had her husband call my sister’s friend on another line. The woman then prayed with my sister until the ambulance came. That was a Friday night, and my sister was taken off life support that Sunday, which was Father’s Day. We never knew who that kind and loving woman was, but this happened in 1987, and I have never forgotten the woman. She has been blessed many times over throughout the years. As an aside; my sister was just 44 years old and died from a brain arterial vascular malformation (AVM). She was also an organ donor. A week later on the local news, my parents watched a special interest story wherein they talked about a 44 year old female organ donor who died from a brain trauma where and when my sister did, and how sis’s organs were being used by other people, including her kidneys going to a 15 year old girl who had been on dialysis for a while and was nearing the end of her life. We knew it was my sister who was the donor because sis was the only brain trauma patient who died where and when she did. I have always felt so proud of my sis, who suffered 17 years before she passed. I’m sure there is a woman out there who got kidneys as a teen and blesses my sis every day, the same way I bless the woman on the phone. This story on the video made me think of the good that can come when we think we’ve made a mistake, and it is a lovely story. ❤

I love stories like this! One time I called the wrong number at work and as I was apologizing to this guy and trying to hang up, the guy kind of struck up a conversation with me and asked me how my day was going. We chatted for a minute and as I was hanging up he said “hey, thanks for calling!” 😂 it was the best wrong number call I’ve ever made. ❤

I am crying. True understanding and friendship have no color or bias . He could have reacted differently about receiving the wrong calls, but he did not. The world could use that dose of humanity.
my sweet mother did that, but the man that answered only got angry and demanded she quit calling. She had dementia at 89 so she wasnt aware of her mistake But she knew someone was mad! I appreciate this mans kindness.
this is so beautiful! she lost a son...and God sent her someone to be a blessing to her...not necessarily a replacement, but one who could be kind to her as a son might be.
Just like my mom, lost a son but gain another. God knew what he was doing when he brought these two together.

People say don't mistake my niceness for weakness and yet your niceness is taken as week you'll see
This reminds me of my grandmother who would mistakenly call an office at the local hospital while she was trying to reach her friend for their early morning chats. I later met the young lady that always answered and it warmed my heart to hear her say 'I miss Miss Hattie's calls.' I thanked her because my grandmother said she was always sweet and never seemed bothered by the call, they would just chat briefly to make sure the other was ok and end with have a lovely and blessed day.
My friend's parents met due to a wrong number. I don't remember the whole story, it's been 30 years since I heard it, but they got to know each other and got married. They were married for many years until her father passed away. They were wonderful people.
This lady Gladys is a gift to us all-----Blessings to Mike for being a good human being. We can all learn from this amazing story. WHERE WE TO ONE WE GO ALL

Q Nutcase!
If someone kept calling me by accident, I would eventually spark a conversation with them too. But clearly God made her continuously call the right person, because God worked through him to bring healing where needed. People, just be kind, gracious, courteous, and good to everyone you come across. It is important.

This happened to me. My friend Mark in Washington, he's been my best friend these last several months, all started when I kept calling and texting him trying to get ahold of a dear friend of mine. He has since become my unexpected dear friend. Kinder and more sympathetic than anyone I know. Always lifts my spirits and has blessed me so much. Yes,like a family member. Hopefully someday we can meet face to face like Mike and Gladys. God bless you both!❤
That's right Momma! So blessed to have this story shared.
How many likes are we allowed to give? I'm setting here with tears running down. WOW just WOW. Made my day. God bless and keep them and their families always. Wish we could all have this kind of love for one another. 😊🤗😘
That's what happened with my uncle ( not uncle by birth or marriage really just my fathers best friend ) he always called his girlfriend but dialed the wrong number. A girl answered all the time and she sounded like his girlfriend, they ended up talking for months before meeting. My uncle and his girlfriend broke up so he kept on talking with the other girl who he didn't know in person yet. When they finely met face to face they said it was love at first sight. They've been married for 36 years this coming July. I like when I hear stories like these.
Such humanity! Mike is awesome there are not very many people like him left in this world God bless him and his family
What a sweet heart and soul that man has. I’m crying 😢 in a good way.
THIS WORLD NEED MORE HUMANS LIKE HIM, I LIVE IN A BIG CITY FOR 47 YEARS AND I HAVE NO ONE FRIEND, AND SOME TIMES I THINK, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL SOMEONE AND SAID, TODAY WAS NOT A VERY GOOD DAY, BUT UNFORTUNATLY I HAVE NO ONE. JUST THE FACT TO SAID HELLO TO SOMEONE IS A BIG FORTUNE. BLESSINGS 🌷🍀

@@hemeraldhappy7166 In this life , I have had many friends. Many who have betrayed me and disappointed me time and time again. I have learned to go "within" and discover the benefits of one-ness that learning yourself and your creator will give.... A feeling of peace within, by yourself. The number of friends one has does not define you. What defines you is the love you have for yourself, your creator & others. The vision you have for your life and the peace you have within and how that is reflected in the world outside of you is what matters. Do not feel bad. All is well and is functioning as it was meant, and it's meant to be in your current incarnation in life path
It’s not an accident
