MISSING
I could explain it all in my own language
Interview 
English
“You know when you come from Pakistan, you leave all your family back home like, you know your parents, your brothers and sisters, and obviously, you miss them. I mean we used to write letters as well, but I think you could say things more frequently, and in your own language to your parents and your brothers and sisters. I could tell them how much I missed them.
When I came to the UK, I had family here as well – my uncles and aunties, but you know, obviously, when you’re away from your mum and dad and your brothers and sisters – when you go away from them, you miss them more. I was missing them so much, and that feeling was like you know, it was very hard. What I’m saying is that I could explain all this to them on cassettes in my own language.”
