She was off by a digit but that mistake has blossomed into a friendship between two Delaware County women, reports Joe Holden for CBS Philly.

Anna Forte was trying to reach her husband Edmond at a rehab center.

But the number she dialed wasn’t her husband, but Lisa Parks of Milmont Park.

“She called the wrong number about a year ago and her voice was shaky, she sounded upset,” Parks said. “She said it’s so nice to hear someone’s voice.”

Parks couldn’t get Anna off her mind. She called back.

“God told me to answer that call and thank God I did and it was Lisa,” Forte said. “She said ‘It’s Lisa, the lady you called by mistake’ and the conversation started.”

Forte couldn’t be with her husband. Parks was out of work.

They’ve kept in touch for a year now by phone — until Sunday, when, after being vaccinated, they met in person for the first time.

Edmond died this past year, and Forte’s faith tells her she was meant to contact Parks.

“She always has an ear for me, listens to me, and we enjoy talking to each other,” Forte said.
