Woman turns to Reddit with a heartfelt plea to find her long-lost father; what happened next will melt your heart
In her original Reddit post, the woman explained that her father, originally from Kerala, had once worked for a travel agency in Bengaluru. 'He must be 45 to 50 years old now,' she wrote. 'My parents separated when I was just 2 years old, and I've never had the chance to know him.' She appealed to users for any leads, saying even the tiniest bit of information could make a difference.
Reddit users didn't just respond–they rallied behind her.
Thanks to an outpouring of help, the woman was eventually able to trace her father and even connect with his side of the family. 'I finally found my dad and my entire family,' she wrote in an update that quickly went viral. Though she discovered that some close relatives–like her grandparents and one uncle–had passed away, she did manage to speak to a surviving uncle and her father himself, with help from a friend who translated the conversation.
The reunion was deeply emotional. 'My dad cried when he heard my voice,' she shared. She also learned that he had never remarried and had been living in Chennai, having not returned to Kerala in over four years.
The heartfelt update drew thousands of reactions. While many celebrated the reunion, others weighed in with differing perspectives. One user encouraged her initial search, saying, 'If he is active, he will be having Aadhaar card… Track him from that address. Good luck. All of you, particularly your father, deserve a second chance.'
Another took a more critical view: 'Sorry to say. If that father left you at 2 years old and burden on your mother to take care and never saw you again, he don't deserve to be a father. Take care of your mother!!'
Still, most responses were supportive and hopeful. 'That's wonderful. We're all glad you were able to get in touch with your dad,' one user wrote. 'There's a lot of catching up for you both & so much to look forward to. Wishing you the very best in life.'
