Sabina Ahmed

Sabina's father

Death from afar

Listen to the item

A few years ago Sabina Ahmed came onto the programme to talk about her troubled relationship with her father and how things had only started to mend when she had a family of her own. One of the side-effects of their original falling out was that father and daughter lived on different continents for over 40 years, seeing each other only a handful of times.

As the years went by, Sabina was increasingly troubled by the thought that one day this physically distant but emotionally dominating man was going to die.

Sabina came into our Taunton studio and told David Stafford about the day, just last summer, the long-dreaded phone call came.
