A worried housewife picked up the phone and heard a kind voice.
âOh, Mother,â she sobbed. âThe baby wonât eat, the washing machine broke, I sprained my ankle, and I have guests coming!â
The voice immediately offered helpâshopping, cleaning, cooking, even calling a repairman. But then came the surprise: âWhoâs George?â
It wasnât her mother. It was a wrong number. The caller, Martha, had meant to call her own daughterâbut Sarah, exhausted and desperate, whispered her address anyway.
Thirty minutes later, Martha arrived. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the baby like sheâd been there forever. That night, they shared tea, stories, and grief over lost loved ones.
Martha kept visiting, teaching Sarah little tricks, becoming the mother she never had. Years later, Sarahâs daughter called her âGrandma,â and Martha smiled through tears.
Sometimes, lifeâs mistakes are destiny in disguiseâbringing the right people at the wrong time. â¤ď¸
