A woman has described how her father left their family and later contacted her decades afterward through social media. According to the account shared in reports, Garry Hardwicke, described as an England football fan, walked out on his daughter and her mother shortly after leaving home to buy milk. The daughter says he then went away for a period connected to attending the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. She describes not hearing from him for many years, during which she and her family continued without his involvement.
The reports say that roughly two decades later, Hardwicke sent her a message on Facebook stating, “I think I’m your father.” The story recounts the shock and impact of the long absence and the delayed attempt at contact. The coverage presents the daughter’s perspective on events, focusing on the timeline from the initial departure to the later social-media message, without additional details about any verification of the claim or subsequent developments.
