Arizona grandma and stranger she mistakenly texted in 2016 will celebrate 9th Thanksgiving together

Some might say good things happen when you meet strangers and, for this Arizona pair, it appears to be holding true as they plan to spend their ninth Thanksgiving together.

In 2016, Wanda Dench meant to invite her grandson to her Thanksgiving and accidentally texted Jamal Hinton of Phoenix.

The two realized the mistake once she sent a photo confirmation of herself with Hinton responding, "[You're] not my grandma," and added a laughing emoji.

The story was widely shared on X, which was Twitter at the time, capturing the hearts of followers.

This year, Hinton will be hosting Thanksgiving and Dench will travel to his home to celebrate with him after nearly a decade of sharing the holiday meal together.

Fox News Digital reached out to Dench and Hinton for comment.

One man on X commented, "The best yearly tradition on this app."

"Omg my heart this is so wholesome! I look forward to this annual update bookmarked for my soul," said another user.

A woman commented, "Like why do I want to cry."

"My Thanksgiving isn't complete without an update from the two of you. Thank you for sharing your story with us," added another.

"I've learned a lot of life's [lessons] through it all, but I want to stress most of all is just because you may be older, we still have a life to live," Dench posted.

As part of the partnership, Airbnb made a one-time donation to Feeding America to help provide food and support to the 32 million people in America who face hunger each year.
