And eventually he decided to just go and visit the family in the hospital, bearing gifts for the baby.

The family were touched by the gesture, and posted a picture of them and their new friends gathered around the new mother’s hospital bed, writing:
Williams posted the texts and pictures on his own Facebook page – they’ve been shared over 175,000 times, and he’s getting praised all round for being a sound lad.
Ahhh. If only more wrong number texts turned out like this.
