My wife texted me, “Pick me up from work now. It’s urgent.”I rushed over without hesitation. When she got into the car, she looked completely confused to see me.“I never texted you,” she said, her voice trembling.I showed her my phone, where her message was clearly displayed. As she stared at it, her face turned pale. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone — the exact same model — to show me her screen. There was no record of the message she supposedly sent.
We sat there in stunned silence. Then, right in front of us, another message appeared on my phone: “Congratulations! You’re going to be parents.”Her hands shook as she slowly pulled out a small envelope she had been hiding, containing the positive pregnancy test she had planned to surprise me with later that night.
Neither of us had told anyone the news. To this day, we have no idea who sent those mysterious texts or how they knew our secret. It felt like the universe had found a way to reveal a miracle we hadn’t yet shared — and to remind us that sometimes, the most mysterious moments can carry the most beautiful truths.
From that day on, we made a promise to embrace every moment of the journey ahead. Whether it was fate, a glitch, or something beyond our understanding, we chose to see it as a sign — a gentle reminder that our little family’s story was just beginning, guided by love and a touch of mystery.
