A woman named Candice Benbow of New Jersey received a text message from a woman in North Carolina.
It read: “Anthony, you need to call me because you said you were going to pick up these kids.”
Candice was confused by the message because she had no idea who this woman was. She responded to the woman and said she had the wrong number, but the lady was convinced she was indeed texting the father of her children.
A few minutes passed and, once the anonymous texter realized Candice was telling the truth, she opened up to Candice. Their conversation continued and the pair started learning more about each other, despite the fact they were total strangers who lived 500 miles away from one another.
She told me that Anthony, the father of her children, was supposed to pick up their kids and take them for the long weekend so she could celebrate her birthday.
However, Anthony was missing and no one could get a hold of him. The woman’s birthday weekend was totally ruined.
Instead of ending their conversation and friendly rapport, Candice sent an unexpected text to her new friend:
“Well, we’re going to find Anthony.” Candice was determined to track him down and save the woman’s birthday.
