Question

Londoner Michael Wicks travelled to Sunbury in Middlesex last week to search for his 17-year-old daughter Lisa, who he had not seen for five years. Lisa moved to Sunbury with her mother after her parents divorced ( 离 婚) , and she was not in contact with her father, who lived in a different town.

After days of searching, Mr Wicks asked The Sunbury Free Press to print a photo he took in Sunbury’s main square and his telephone number, and asking his daughter to contact him.

When the newspaper came out a few days later, Lisa was amazed to see a picture of her dad – and when she looked more closely, she saw herself too in the background!

Lisa said she had been very shocked. “I was just a few metres from my dad and I had no idea!” she said. She showed the paper to a friend, who told her to phone the number immediately.

“At first, my dad thought it was a joke” she said, “but he soon realized it was really me. It’s great to be in contact again after all these years!” She said that they went out to dinner together that evening to celebrate.

Happy dad, Michael, smiling from ear to ear, told our journalist the next day that they planned to spend a lot more time together, and said that it surely wouldn’t be another five years before they saw each other!
