My mom died in 2014. My dad canceled her cell service and put her phone in a box. It's still there today.

Fast forward to 2017. I still didn't have the heart to take her number and contact picture out of my phone. My wife and I were waiting outside of our son's school while he was at his first Jr High dance. My mom and son were big buddies…. My phone rings. It pops up my mom's picture and from her number. I look at my wife and think there's no way. I answer. It was a young lady looking for someone I didn't know, so we hung up. I thought about it for a minute and had to call back and ask a few questions. She answered and told me she was just assigned that number with her new phone. I explained who I was. She almost cried. I knew my dad still had my mom's old phone so this wasn't an instance of someone buying it and calling me.

So, I ask you math guys… In Houston, with 6,000,000 people in the area, WHAT are the odds of someone with my mom's old number misdialing ME her SON?

Let that soak in for a minute…

Thanks!

It's little things like this that leave no doubt in my mind that our world is affected by forces out of our control.
