She thought her father died 31 years ago, and she found him on social networks

She thought he was dead though. Sharni Butler reunited with her dad on social media after 31 years. Incredible story.

For 31 years, she thought she didn’t have a father anymore… until the day she stumbled upon his social media profile. Incredible story it conveys sideways. As the daily reveals, Sharni Butler grew up without a father figure. And if she got used to it over time, the New Zealander always had a secret hope of seeing him someday.

“Growing up, I realized something was wrong,” she said, “but no one had answers to my questions.” Finally, the young woman decided to follow her instinct and began searching with what little information she had. As she explains, she knew his name was Noel, that he was from the UK and that he was “sports crazy”.

You go to forums, participate in various TV shows, but to no avail. But his determination paid off in the end. One day, I came across a certain Noel’s profile on social networks and decided to send him a message. “He was only involved in sports and I saw he lived here in Christchurch between 1990 and 1991, before moving back to the UK,” the young woman explained.

“I need to know”

The two begin to exchange and after discussion, he releases Sharni and asks him the fateful question. “It’s going to sound very strange and personal but I need to know. When you lived here in Christchurch did you have relationships with any girls?” She interrogates him before admitting that she had been looking for her father for years and that his description matched her own.

Intrigued by this revelation, Noel demands to know more. And the more details you provide, the more he will get to know himself. Finally, after long discussions, Sharni realizes that Noelle has dated her mother, Dale. For his part, he admits that he never heard of a pregnancy and continues with his life, as if nothing had happened. Today, to make sure it is indeed her father, Charni decides to release a cat on the internet to raise money for a DNA test.
