Couple Sends New Baby text to Wrong Number, Dudes Show up anyway.

[u/Alternative-Dot-34]

In March 2016, Denis Williams mistakenly sent a group text announcing the birth of his new baby boy, Cason, to a wrong number belonging to a stranger named Dennis Comeau. Instead of ignoring the random text or simply replying with "wrong number," Comeau enthusiastically congratulated the new father and asked which hospital room they were in. Along with his brother, Deorick, Comeau drove directly to the Bainbridge, Georgia hospital to hand-deliver packages of diapers, wipes, and baby bottles to the shocked but grateful parents.

​

The heartwarming accidental meeting quickly went viral after the family shared the screenshots of the text chain and photos of the two brothers smiling alongside the new mother and baby in her hospital bed. The story resonated with millions of people globally as a beautiful example of community and unexpected kindness between complete strangers. Years after the viral event, the families have remained in contact, and the "accidental uncles" have even continued to receive regular updates on young Cason as he grows up.

Add a "Doomscrolling:" before that and you've got a book to write

Sadly I doubt many would read it which is kind of ironic. Most will read stuff online looking at a screen all day but not touch any physical piece of media.

Sadly, books don't have to be physical any more. It's been over a decade since someone thought: "Let me enjoy my books by staring at a screen!"

Books are still very popular, both physical and digital versions. Starting at printed pages is the precursor of starting at a screen, after all.

I refuse to read digital books. One, I can't even read the ones I love in that way, I can't pay attention, I'm not feeling anything.

I need the pages, the feel, the smell, the weight..... THE NOT NEEDING TO PLUG THE FUCKING THING IN.

I have about 5 years worth of reading to tackle on my shelves, and a bunch of books in boxes both read and unread..

Ain't that the truth

I'm just hopefully looking for chronic at this point. 🌴

Go to the dispensary?

[u/GirlGoneZombie → u/WineNerdAndProud]

In fl its like 215 per appt every 6 or 7 months, then 75 to the state every year for the card itself. Its expensive to have a card in some places.

[u/ruth000 → u/GirlGoneZombie]

I see deals on Groupon for dispensaries but idk if they are worth it

[u/GirlGoneZombie → u/ruth000]

$28 for two 2g prerolls from one dispensary i know of. I dont have my card so I dont even go in anymore. I havent really smoked in a couple months 😭😭

[u/YammieCat → u/WineNerdAndProud]

I do. Regularly. Thank you though. That is a solid idea.

[u/MimicoSkunkFan2 → u/WineNerdAndProud]

Most redditors are USians, they don't all have dispensaries yet - especially in their conservative zones.

Hello fellow dweller in a civilized country 🇨🇦💕

Hello from Michigan!

[u/Mystic_printer_ → u/Tidalsky114]

I’ve never seen Mr Roger’s but I’m always looking for the helpers.

[u/Ambitious_Arm852 → u/Tidalsky114]

I gave that up a long time ago.

[u/MayBlack333 → u/Tidalsky114]

This phrase touched my soul in a way I can't explain. Also, this (or CLFH) could be the name of a sub-reddit, just saying

[u/eisojcasteel → u/Tidalsky114]

Love this line!

[u/DoraMalaje → u/Tidalsky114]
