Arguably the most wholesome accident that's ever occurred was the accidental Thanksgiving text sent 7 years ago, that would change the lives of then strangers, Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton forever as Thanksgiving would never be the same.

As the story goes, Wanda was texting her family in a group chat about their Thanksgiving plans when one of the phone numbers responded somewhat confusedly. 



From there, Jamal and Wanda exchanged information and spent that first dinner together back in 2016. They've since spent every Thanksgiving together, even welcoming Jamal's girlfriend Mikaela.


Much like a real family, the two have been through a lot together. In April 2020, Wanda's husband Lonnie passed away due to complications from Covid-19. They still held their 5th annual Thanksgiving that year. As a family, you take the good with the bad. Jamal went with Wanda as she got her first tattoo ever at the age of 65.



It's just a small reminder that a little bit of kindness goes a long way. There are still good people in the world. And that's definitely something worth celebrating.
