Newborn Baby News: Texting Mishap Leads To Heartwarming Moment In Florida [PHOTO]
What could have been a tense and weird moment turned into something heartwarming for two sets of strangers in Florida over the weekend.
Lindsey and Mark Lashley of Tallahassee, Florida, were having a baby March 19, and a group text was sent to let their loved ones know of the exciting development—but one of the numbers involved in the chat was that of 19-year-old Dennis Williams, who had not previously met the couple.

"We are at the hospital. Having a baby today! She has dilated to between 5-6," the initial text read.
Williams, realizing the mistake quickly responded with a congratulatory message, but informed the sender that they had the wrong number. However, the message seemed to go unheeded, and he continued to receive updates about the mystery child's birth.
He and his brother, Deorick, then received a photo of the newborn, which led them to decide they too would arrive at the hospital to get a photo with the new baby and to congratulate the couple on their new addition with gifts, something the couple encouraged in the text exchange.

"Well I don't know y'all but me and the boys will be thru to take picture with the baby," Williams responded.
And when he went to confirm which hospital, he was also given the couple's room number, so he and his brother could indeed bring the gifts they had purchased for the perfect strangers.

"130 come on and see us," the couple wrote.
And sure enough, the brothers kept their word and arrived at the hospital, posing for a photo with the new parents, which was then shared on social media with a heartwarming message that has since gone viral.

"I accidentally text 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 guys and thank you for giving to someone you didn't know! Many blessings I pray for you. I think his brother was Derrius Williams. Cason Knox, Lindsey and Mark Lashley thanks you...If we all only had this kind of heart," the post read.
It was later shared on Deorick's Facebook page as well.
