One afternoon, I received a text from my wife that read, “Pick me up from work now.

It’s urgent.” My heart skipped a beat because she never used the word urgent unless something serious was happening.

Without hesitation, I grabbed my keys and rushed out the door, worried about what could have gone wrong.

When I arrived at her office, I spotted her walking out, looking perfectly fine.

However, the moment she saw me, her face turned pale with confusion.

She walked up to the car and asked, “Why are you here?” completely baffled.

I held up my phone and said, “You told me to come get you,” showing her the message.

Her eyes widened, and she shook her head firmly. “I never sent that text,” she whispered,

clearly unsettled by what she saw. My stomach dropped as I tried to process what was happening.

Then, she shakily reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.

The screen was cracked, and the battery had just died, but when she powered it back on,

the last message she had sent was weeks ago.

We both sat there in stunned silence,

trying to make sense of the situation.

Just as we were about to leave,

my phone buzzed again, breaking the tense quiet.

It was the exact same message — but this time, it had come from my own number.

My wife grabbed my hand, her voice calm yet trembling as she said, “Maybe it’s a sign.

We’ve been so busy lately that we’ve barely spent time together.” In that moment,

I realized she was right. Maybe this strange experience wasn’t meant to frighten us but to bring us closer.

We drove home quietly, both reflecting on how important it is to be there for the ones we love. Sometimes, life sends mysterious messages to remind us what truly matters.
