Dad Is Reunited With Missing Daughter After A Difficult 2-Year Search

Father’s Day can be a tough time of year for anyone who has lost their Dad or simply doesn’t have a father figure in their life. For a child without any parents, however, the holiday can be even more difficult and heartbreaking.

Luckily, there is at least one little girl out there who won’t have to spend another Father’s Day wondering who or where her dad is. After being away from him for two years, Bryan Thouvenel’s daughter Harmony could only remember the sound of her dad playing guitar.

Besides that, the 5-year-old knew nothing about her Dad, who unbeknownst to Harmony and her mother, Thouvenel’s estranged ex-girlfriend, had been searching for them for years.

Thanks to a tip, Thouvenel was reunited with Harmony, who was found living at a homeless shelter in Spokane, Washington. Thouvenel and his ex-girlfriend were together for two years before she snatched Harmony away and headed to Washington.

 

“She’s not in the best of health in the world, you know, but she drove for 10 hours straight until we got up there to the courthouse,” Thouvenel told the News-Review of how he has since gained custody of his estranged daughter.

“I sat there and the next thing you know I’ve got my daughter coming out, walking by herself,” Thouvenel said. “She’s kind of looking around, and I said her name once. She kind of looked at me funny and I said ‘Harmony, it’s daddy.’ Her eyes just kind of lit up.”

Now Washington-based nonprofit Time to Put Kids First, is sending Thouvenel and Harmony to Kauai, Hawaii to make up for lost time and make memories under the sun.

 “For two years she didn’t have any memories with me so they decided it would be a nice idea to send us over to Hawaii for a retreat,” Thouvenel said. “It would be this huge memory that she would actually remember. Regardless of whatever happens in the future, she will always have this one memory with dad.”
