[Davina] For thousands of people across Britain, someone is missing from their lives.

He may not even know that he has a sister who's missing.

To think that she didn't want to see me, wasn't interested, would be heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking for me.

I want to know, does he want to be a part of my life?

Does he want to get to know his daughter?

But all too often, years of searching lead nowhere.

Well, this is the series that steps in to help, offering a last chance to people desperate to find long lost family.

They found her!

[screaming, laughing] I've always known that you were going to come and find us.

-Always.

-I've been trying for years.

Your son has been found.

Oh, wow!

Our searches have uncovered family secrets and taken us all over the world, finding people that no one else has been able to trace.

Two walks in a park, two different families.

-Yeah.

-And one incredible story.

[Davina] And finally answering the questions that have haunted entire lives.

I don't know if you can understand what that means.

This time two stories of people who vanished without trace.

A family looking for their little sister who disappeared when she was 22.

[woman] You don't know what to do.

You don't know whether to grieve, look.

It's very, very, very hard.

And a man tormented by the memory of the last words he said to his father.

I didn't like to see my mum upset and crying so I did what she asked me to do, told him I didn't want to see him anymore.

I've never seen him again.

And what's mind-blowing is that was 42 years ago.

[dramatic music playing] [gulls calling] Our first story comes from Blackpool, where Wane Leyland has been searching for his father, who disappeared from his life when he was just seven years old.

Wane is now 49 and lives wi th partner Olga and son Toby.

For Wane, being a father is a painful reminder of his own childhood.

I don't feel a whole person today.

When you've missed a dad for so long, you end up with an emptiness and a coldness.

It's a place that never gets warm.

[contemplative music playing] Wane grew up in Blackpool in the 1960s, a time when it was a mecca for British holiday makers, visited by a quarter of the population every year.

But for Wane as a young boy, there was no bigger thrill in Blackpool than his dad Terry.

My dad always seemed to bring the fun out.

He always took us out.

There was an excitement about him.

Love manifests itself in many different ways.

It doesn't always have to come with a cuddle or a kiss, you know what I mean?

It can come through excitement.

As the eldest of three, Wane remembers his father making an effort to make life special for him and his siblings.

I remember Bonfire night.

I remember looking up the alley hearing these bangs, and suddenly my father come round the corner, and it's him with the biggest smile on his face you could ever imagine, you know.

"Right," he says, "now it's time to start a proper fireworks display."

And opens this case and I just, I looked and it was like... it was like an Aladdin's cave of treasures but in fireworks.

[woman] Black 19... green 53, black 14... [Davina] But it wasn't always good times, as money was scarce and Wane's dad worked long hours in several jobs, including being a bingo caller to make ends meet.

It was difficult back then.

I remember him coming home from work one day.

He come in the kitchen door and he sat at the table and he's like, "What's for tea?"

She went, "Beans on toast, and you'll have to make it yourself."

He's like, "I've been at work all day."

There's an almighty row.

A real bad row.

You know something's not right.

There was tensions.

There was stresses.

I didn't understand it at that point, the family was breaking up.

When Wane was seven, his parents divorced.

Wane's father moved out of the family home but still visited at weekends.

He started not turning up.

His excuse was he was working.

My mother said that he was using it as a lie, and I remember my mum turning around to me, she was saying, you know, she says, "When he turns up, if he turns up, you want to tell him you don't want to see him again."

I remember him coming down the street, driving in, getting out of his car and walking up to the gate.

And I turned round and I went, "I don't want to see you again."

And he went, "You what?"

I said, "Well, you keep letting us down."

"You keep saying you're going to come round and you don't."

I said, "I'd rather not see you again."

And then I watched him get back in his car and drive off down the street and around the corner.

I never saw him again.

But I never believed that for one moment as a kid that that's how it was going to turn out.

I honestly thought that he was going to come round again.

And he didn't.

I suppose as I grew older, I thought perhaps he doesn't care.

You know, this man in my life had walked out.

He'd just vanished, gone.

Today I live with it all my life, you know what I mean?

There was nobody else to blame but me.

It was me that had uttered the words.

Wane has been looking for his father for over 20 years, but he has little to go on.

Even his mum finds it difficult to remember specific details that could help him in his search.

My mum says she's not sure whether my dad came from Cornwall.

I can't find any traces in Cornwall.

People said he'd emigrated to Australia.

People said he was here.

People said he was there.

Wane's search has become more urgent since he had a heart attack in 2009.

I've no idea whether he's alive or whether he's dead.

Whether I've looked on the internet, in the papers, gone to the libraries, looked through electoral rolls, I can't find him.

I just can't find anything.

I'm a Leyland.

I'm entitled to know my heritage.

Right, I'm entitled to share that heritage with my family.

When we took on Wane's search, we always knew it was going to be difficult.

From everything he'd told us that he'd done, Wane's search for his father had seemed pretty thorough and it was difficult to know what we could add.

Nicky Campbell takes up the story.

[Nicky] The only hard information Wane could give us was his dad's name, Terance Leyland.

He knew his rough age, 71, but wasn't sure when or where he was born.

What would have made this search easier is if we'd have known Terry's exact date of birth.

Without it, we were faced with the prospect of trawling through the records of every single Terance Leyland born in the years around 1940.

Fortunately we knew from Wane's birth certificate that the spelling of his father's name was unusual.

He spelt Terance with an "a" rather than the more common "e." This narrowed the search and eventually led us to his father's birth certificate.

But we couldn't find a record of this Terance Leyland anywhere in the UK, so we went back to the records to see if he had any siblings who might lead us to Terry.

We found a sister.

She said, yes, we'd got the right man, but she hadn't seen her brother for years.

All she knew was that he'd emigrated to Adelaide in Australia more than 40 years ago.

That meant that Terry left the UK not long after Wane last saw him.

Could Terry have been running away from his life in Britain?

And if so, did he even want to be found?

When we searched for him in Adelaide, our fears seemed to be confirmed, when we couldn't find any record of a Terry Leyland.

So we took a punt with one of the most popular states with British emigres, Queensland.

And we got lucky.

We found him in a remote rural town called Wondai, a world away from Blackpool, and he agreed to meet me.

Terry was one of a million Brits who, between 1945 and '72, emigrated to Australia in search of a better life.

Known as "Ten Pound Poms," they were encouraged to settle here by the Australian government, who only charged them £10 for their passage.

Terry arrived in 1970 and became a master builder, only retiring last year.

He's never been back to the UK.

[dog barking] Hello.

-Hello.

-Terry.

Yes.

-I'm Nicky.

-Pleased to meet you.

-And welcome to Australia.

-You've got a lovely place here.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

-Come on in.

-Can I?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You've picked a nice day anyway.

[Nicky] Well, yes.

You took some finding, you know.

[Terance] Well... [laughs] -I believe so.

I believe so.

-Yeah.

You weren't hiding from us, were you?

-This is nice.

-This is my wife Helen.

-Oh, hello.

-How are you?

-Sorry, what was your name?

-Helen.

-Very nice to meet you.

Nicky.

-Very nice to meet you, Nicky.

-Okay.

-Shall we go and have a chat?

-Let's have a chat.

-Brilliant.

-Have a chair.

-Sit here?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I feel...

This must have come as a bit of a shock, all this.

Oh, it did.

I was over the moon, to think that, uh... he'd actually found me.

What are your memories of that little boy?

I can remember him being born and visiting him in the hospital and nursing him.

Um... playing with him as a little boy, but then things went wrong, and, uh... Well, that's what happens in relationships, isn't it?

Can I take you back to something that he says he remembers incredibly vividly, which is when he was... he said to you that he didn't ever want to see you again and you drove away in the car.

He was told to say it.

What happened from your perspective?

Well, on that day when he said that, it ripped the hell out of me.

He feels in a sense to blame.

He's regretted saying that for all of his life.

No, he shouldn't, shouldn't feel remorse about it, no.

No, that's not... No, not how I took it anyway.

So I tried to see him again, you know, on the Saturday when we had visitation rights.

But he was never home.

They was always taken away.

There was always some excuse to why I couldn't see them.

And then a new person moved in their life, into their life, another man and...

I felt like I was trespassing.

It must have been, as you say... Oh, it was, yeah, I was devastated.

And I had a nervous breakdown after it.

A total breakdown?

Mm.

Very much so.

You don't know where to go.

You don't know which way to turn.

And then I got the opportunity to come to Australia.

Were you escaping then in a sense?

I think I was, yeah.

I suppose I could have been classed as selfish in a way for not being there.

But... everything had fallen apart.

Regret it?

Yes.

In a big way.

All I can say is please forgive me.

Yeah, for doing what I did.

Over the years... ever since, I've so missed him, you know.

-Have you?

-Yeah.

Of course you have.

And he's your flesh and blood, you know.

Did you... Did you fight it, though?

I mean, you know, as a matter of emotional survival?

-You had to.

-Did you fight it?

-You had to.

-Yeah.

-You couldn't give in.

-No.

Because if you give in, it's too much to think of it.

I probably would have a nervous breakdown again.

-Yeah.

-I've missed him all my life.

I often wondered what he was doing.

-What he was up to.

-Do you want to see a photo?

Can I?

Oh, for goodness' sake.

He has not changed.

Wow.

[sniffles] [Nicky] How do you feel about meeting him?

-Oh.

Over the moon.

-[laughs] Over the moon.

Oh.

Great, isn't it?

Thank you.

Our second case began when we were approached to find a younger sister who'd disappeared without a trace 13 years ago.

Sarah Wade was the youngest of six children.

But when she was 22, she vanished from her family's life.

Her disappearance has cast a shadow over an otherwise happy family.

And for sisters Sharon and Wendy, the question about what happened to Sarah has come to dominate their lives.

I just need to know that she's okay or not okay.

You know, I feel that I've come to that point where I just need to know.

Well, we don't know whether she's alive or not.

We don't know.

In the back of your mind... you just keep asking why.

[contemplative music playing] When Sarah was born, because there was us five children and we had our stepdad Jim, when Sarah come along it was a complete family.

It changed our lives when she was born that we had a little sister that we all doted on.

Sharon and Wendy's most vivid memories of Sarah are as a young girl at Selsey on the south coast where the family always holidayed.

[Wendy] Can see her running around, laughing.

Had that addictive laugh, didn't she?

And she just, I think in the end, everybody was looking at her enjoying herself in the water, and they were thinking, "Oh, you know, they're having a good time."

Whether it was here or at home, she was always sort of the center of it all.

As she grew up, Sarah remained the center of her family's life.

She was bubbly.

She was never...

If she was ever down, she never showed it.

But then when Sarah was 21, their mother was diagnosed with cancer.

At the time, Sarah was the only sibling still living at home.

She had so much responsibility.

She was the one there when we all went home, when my mum was ill, looking after her through the night and things like that.

So I think that for her, at that time, it must have been incredibly hard.

Within three months, Sarah's mum had died.

Tragically, less than a year later, her father Jim also passed away.

Sarah was only 22.

During all of that going on, I only saw her break down a few times.

I think for her she was very good at hiding what she was feeling and probably protecting us as well.

Not only had Sarah lost both her parents, but within three months of her father dying, the council took back the family home.

It was awful.

It was just an empty shell and everything had gone, but Sarah was, like, portraying that she was happy and it was going to be fine and she was with her boyfriend and they were going to be okay.

Sarah told her sisters that she was moving to North London.

But shortly after leaving, her mobile phone went dead.

Then her email account shut down.

And visits by her family to what they thought was her new address came to nothing.

In fact, when the family visited Sarah's address, a stranger answered and said that Sarah had moved.

In the space of six months, Sarah had completely disappeared.

[somber music playing] Over the past 13 years, the family have tried everything they can to find her, even turning to specialists who trace missing persons.

Despite this, Sarah remains missing.

I hope she's not living on the streets or rough, or you know, she's in a bad way.

Fearing the worst, the family have seized upon any news that might lead to Sarah.

We heard the rumors that she was in Brighton.

We went looking everywhere for her on the seafront and we went in the back streets, on the pier, everywhere.

Nothing come of it.

When you lose somebody, you grieve.

And you know they're gone.

But with Sarah, we don't know where she is and it's very hard.

From everything that we heard, this sounded like a missing person's case and they can be really tough to solve.

A 22-year-old unmarried woman with no commitments, no kids, Sarah could be anywhere in the world.

Nicky Campbell takes up the case.

[Nicky] Our worst fear for Sarah, as with all missing persons, is that she had died.

So the first thing that we checked were the death records.

Fortunately Sarah's name didn't come up.

So we decided to search electoral rolls, but with over 200 Sarah Wades, we needed a way to focus our efforts.

Now, there were rumors that she'd been seen on the south coast, but rather than concentrate our efforts there, we decided to start in the place where she'd always lived before she disappeared: London.

We found nearly 20 Sarah and S. Wades living in the greater London area, but one really stood out, living at the same North London address that Sarah's family had visited all those years ago.

It seemed extraordinary that Sarah could have been hiding from her family for all these years, living at her last known address.

So we wrote her a letter and she replied, confirming that she was the woman we were looking for.

Sarah agreed to meet me to talk about her disappearance.

Um... Oh, that's it over there.

But what could have made her hide away for over 13 years?

And is the fact that she's willing to talk a sign that Sarah is now ready to reunite with her family?

-Sarah.

-Hello.

-Nicky.

How are you doing?

-Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Me too.

Are you feeling a bit nervous?

-Very.

-You'll be fine.

Very.

Come in, come in.

-You lead the way.

-Come in.

-Come through.

-Thanks.

Now you've got to tell me, uh, when you found out that your sisters Wendy and Sharon wanted to find you, what went through your mind?

Well, I was surprised.

Very surprised.

Did you think, "Oh, wow, at last"?

Yeah.

I did.

Yeah.

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Uh...

So what... How did it happen?

It... it started...

I think the rocky time started, uh, my mum was diagnosed with cancer, and they gave her a couple of months to live.

So... and she died three months later.

That was very difficult.

Just about a year later, my dad died.

Just very suddenly.

And then I think that was the catalyst that just exploded everything in the way I saw it.

Everything just was not right after that.

Nothing was right.

So how would you best explain to people, who... they understand the devastation?

You lost your mum and your dad and you lost a place to live, but how would you explain to people the fact that... you kind of ran away?

For me at the time I didn't think of it as running away.

Uh... you know, I just thought of it as taking some time out and just sort of getting myself together.

-Gathering myself, really.

-In the short term.

Yes.

Though it was only ever meant to be in the short term, that I was-- I was never meant to lose contact with my family.

That was never part of the plan.

-Were you depressed?

-I think so.

-Mm.

-Definitely.

Definitely.

Uh... -I mean, that was bad, was it?

-Very, very bad.

Very bad.

I needed to speak to them, and I needed to see them, and I just...

I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I couldn't bring myself to have them see me or hear me being that depressed.

When the months turned to years... and then the years turned to 13 years ultimately... did you not think about, you know, picking up a phone?

I was worried... that they would just say, "Do you know what?"

"You know what, Sarah?"

"You've, you know, you've left it so long, we didn't know, you know, how you were, we're not really interested anymore."

That was my ultimate fear, that they would... -Rejection.

-Yeah, completely.

Wendy wrote to the Missing People charity.

Do you remember anything of that?

I remember I got a letter and, uh... that Wendy was trying to find me and was looking for me.

And then at that point I went into my...

I went into panic mode.

I just went into shutdown mode.

I just panicked.

Thought it could only be something really bad and I didn't want to hear any bad news.

And at the time I couldn't.

It was just at that time, I couldn't.

I wasn't ready.

I don't think I was ready to speak to them.

Not speak to them, to see them.

But you know, there hasn't been a day that they haven't thought about you.

There hasn't been a day that I haven't thought about them, you know.

Got a letter here that Wendy wrote on behalf of Wendy and Sharon.

[Sarah] Yeah.

"Sarah."

"How can I start the letter to you, I have asked myself?"

"I want you to know how many memories I have..." [sniffles] "...of my little sister Sarah that go through my mind most days."

"And it really has been awful."

"I always go back to our happy memories when you always made us laugh and we would laugh at each other at silly things."

"I also wonder why you've not been in contact and most of all hope you're happy and your life is happy and you are being looked after and loved."

"I have never given up on finding you, Sarah."

"Love you always, Wendy."

That's lovely.

I think it might be okay.

It's going to be okay, I think.

Course it is.

It's going to be brilliant.

[laughs] I just, I really want to see them now.

So much.

I'm on my way to Croydon to go and break the news to Wendy and Sharon that we have found Sarah and that she is alive and well.

And I don't know how they're going to take the news, but I'm really hoping that they are going to be thrilled.

But I was thinking that maybe, you know, they might be a bit angry.

I mean, maybe they're angry with themselves for letting her go or maybe angry with her for leaving.

I don't know.

-Hi.

-Hi, Wendy.

-Come in.

Yes.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Hi, Sharon.

How are you?

-You all right?

-Yeah.

[clears throat] I am here today because we've got some news.

And we've found her.

That's amazing.

That's the best news.

Even if you didn't say anything else, that's the best.

She's living 18 miles away in North London and she's well.

-God.

-And she's happy.

[Wendy] That's good.

I can only offer you my take on what she's been through.

Uh, she was completely traumatized with grief, shut herself down and she just withdrew.

When she started feeling a bit better, it was a long time later then, and then it was, you know, "I've missed too many occasions, I've missed too many birthdays."

You know, "What happens if they're angry or... what happens if they're annoyed with me and...?"

Never angry.

And it just happens, doesn't it?

And then there you are 13 years later and you still haven't seen each other.

Yeah.

There's something I'd like to show you.

[Wendy] Mm-hmm.

Oh, my... She hasn't changed a bit.

[Sharon] She hasn't changed one bit.

Sarah!

God.

I've got something else.

Oh?

Oh?

I've got a letter.

Oh.

I'm going to have to get my glasses on or Sharon has to read it to me.

-I'll read it to you.

-Okay.

I'll give it to you, Sharon.

"Dearest Wendy and Sharon, my moving north of 'the river' was never meant to herald over a decade of silence."

"But that as the days turned into weeks and then months and eventually years, I suppose I thought you'd all be better off without me around."

[Wendy] Never.

Why?

Why would she think that?

"I don't know where that idea came from, but it was there and I listened to it and stayed away from everyone."

"I miss you all so much and not a day goes by that I'm not thinking of you."

"I'm so sorry I've hurt you in the process."

No.

"Thank you for not giving up on me."

[Wendy] Never.

"I love you so much."

"Can't wait to see you."

"Your smiley sister, Sarah."

So lovely.

[Davina] So, how do you feel?

Just feel, like, complete and that it's finally over.

Like all the hurt and wondering is over.

It feels amazing.

[Davina] I'm on my way to give Wane Leyland news that we've found his father Terry alive and well and living in Australia.

Since he was seven and he told his dad that he didn't want to see him again, Wane has felt that he played a part in his dad's disappearance, and I'm really hoping that this news today will help him put that guilt behind him.

-Hello, Davina.

-How are you?

-Come on in.

-Are you all right?

Not so bad, chuck.

Thank you.

But I'm here because we've got some news.

Good or bad, I'm ready.

It was difficult.

You've been searching for so long yourself.

And you had a feeling that your dad might have gone to Australia.

Uh, and in fact, you were right.

And we have found your father.

Oh, you're joking me.

Wow.

[exhales sharply] I don't know what to say.

Whoo!

He lives just outside Brisbane.

He's married.

-He's married?

-Yeah.

A really nice lady called Helen.

Right.

Does he want to know me?

He really wants to know you.

-He does?

-He was overjoyed.

You're joking me.

Overjoyed when we found him and he really wanted to be found.

And... cannot wait to meet you.

I'm filling up.

Sorry.

Wow.

All those years ago, it was as you thought.

Uh, he found the divorce fantastically stressful, as your mum did.

And I think it was a very difficult time for both of them from what we can assess.

-That's what I believe.

-Yeah.

And... he suffered some sort of a breakdown, a nervous breakdown, uh, after the divorce.

And leaving you all was about the most painful thing he's ever had to do.

I believe that would be true.

He does remember that day you said to him, "Don't come back," but he holds no grudge towards you and completely understands that you were just a little boy and he still loves you and he's always loved you.

I always believed that it was my fault that he'd gone.

Mm.

Would you like to see a picture?

I would love to see a picture.

I really would.

Well, actually your dad's rather excited about the whole thing, and it's not just a picture.

It's an album.

Um... [laughs] [Wane] Oh, my God.

[Davina] Is he how you pictured?

-He is.

-Is he?

-He is, yeah.

-Is he?

And is he how you remembered?

He's older.

He's aged a lot.

But similar...?

He's got my smile.

[Davina] He's definitely you.

-[Wane] And he's got my eyes.

-He's you.

He did write you a letter.

[Wane] Thank you.

"Dear son, it's been such a long, long time since I called you that."

"It fills me with joy and trepidation."

"The countless times I have thought about you over the years and wondered what you were doing and how you were coping without me in your life."

"I felt gutted to leave because you were my life."

"I've been lucky to find love and laughter with my new wife, and we would consider it an honor if we could be part of your life too."

"I know it's a lot to ask after so many years apart, but if you do, we can look forward to many years of shared laughter."

"I never forgot you or stopped loving you, my son."

"Dad."

Oh, I'm just so happy... that he wants to know me more than anything else.

[peaceful music playing] [gulls calling] [Davina] It's the day of Wane's reunion with his father Terry.

[Wane] I don't want to rake up his past.

My dad did what he thought was best.

And the question that I want to ask him more than any is, "Do you still love me?"

[Davina] Is it feeling a bit more real now?

[Wane] Ah, it's numb.

-You're feeling numb?

-Numb.

Don't know if that's normal or not but just feels numb.

I know that when he left, you've sort of been needing to know if he still loves you.

Yeah.

He tells me in the letter that he did, but anybody can write a bunch of words and give them to somebody.

I think to actually stand before somebody and tell them that you care and... -[Davina] Say "I love you"?

-Yeah.

That is important.

Wane's dad Terry has returned to Blackpool for the first time in 40 years.

It's a different place.

Yeah, 40 years, how... a place can change.

[Nicky] The difference 40 years makes.

Yeah.

And all this wasn't here.

This wasn't here either.

No.

There was all sand here.

[laughs] [Nicky] What are you going to say to him?

"I love you, son."

Yeah.

[Davina] Terry and Wane will meet on Blackpool's promenade overlooking the beach, where they built sandcastles together all those years ago.

-Good luck.

-Thanks, Nick.

Thank you.

Good luck.

[seagulls squawking] [peaceful music playing] -Hi.

-I love you, son.

It's been so long.

-It's all right, son.

-[Wane sobbing] -It's been a long time... -[Terance sobbing] Are you okay with all this?

[sniffles] It's been a long, long time, lad.

Do you want to go sit down and have a chat?

[Wane] Yeah, yeah.

Do you remember all those years ago... the last time you actually did see me?

Told you I never wanted to see you again.

Yeah?

Those weren't... they weren't my words, Dad.

No.

I know, lad.

I always regretted saying it.

Don't hold yourself responsible for it, lad, no, it wasn't that.

It was something that I couldn't sort.

I wanted to, but I couldn't.

Well, I want to tell you, for my part in it, I'm sorry.

-Don't cry.

-Okay, I'm not.

-I'm trying not to but... -[laughing] Yeah, it's... hard.

I miss the hell out of not seeing you.

Yeah, and, God, lad, I missed you.

Oh, yeah, give us a hug.

[laughs] [Terance] Something inside it, that you feel inside of you, it's your son.

You know it's him because it's just... yeah.

Yeah.

Just the way when he whispered in my ear, you know, "I love you, Dad."

It felt like no time had been.

It felt as if the last 42 years never existed.

The emotion for me was the same, only this time it was, "I'm not going away again."

"This time I'm here to stay."

This is an absolute marvelous conclusion to a wonderful day.

-[Terance] Okay then, lad?

-Yeah.

Yeah, we're good.

Let's go and have a pint somewhere, shall we?

[Wane] Good idea.

[Davina] Thirteen years ago, after the death of her parents, Sarah Wade disappeared.

Today she's going to reunite with her sisters who never stopped looking for her.

I'm just thinking, like, looking at myself in the mirror, thinking, since I saw Sarah last, how much I've aged and I'm sure she's going to notice that, so... Yeah, definitely got butterflies.

They've chosen to meet at Selsey beach.

It's a place that has special memories for the family as this is where they spent all their holidays.

As a child, Sarah came to Selsey every summer, but this is her first time back since she went missing.

I'm really excited now.

Now I'm here, I can't wait now.

It's just bringing lots of good family memories back.

I'm just really excited to see my sisters again now.

I just want to give them a big hug and... find out how they're doing.

[contemplative music playing] Ah, the sea.

This is how I remember it.

This is great.

-[laughs] -Hello.

How are you doing?

Are you all right?

Yeah, actually, I'm fine.

[Davina] It's kind of scary, isn't it?

-Very, very.

-Scary but exciting.

Hi.

How are you, Wendy?

-You all right?

-Yeah.

I'm good.

So here we are.

This is as far as I'm going to come with you.

Okay.

Sarah is just down there on a bench.

All right?

So good luck.

Thank you.

[crying, laughing] How are you?

Let me look at your face.

Oh, you look so sweet.

You have never ever, ever been out of our minds.

-Never.

-Yeah.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Wow.

Wow.

Got so many memories down here.

I just want to say to you both, I'm sorry that I just disappeared.

I am sorry.

It was never meant to be like that.

We all had to deal with Mum and Dad dying in our own way.

-I know.

-But the one thing that's been missing is you.

And...

So, I don't want nothing else now.

Got you back.

These last few weeks that have gone past, all I've wanted to do is see you.

That's all I've wanted to do.

I just think, I don't know.

I'm going to be okay.

-[laughs] -You are going to be okay.

I just missed you so much.

It's okay, it's okay.

-We're here now.

-I know.

-We're not going anywhere.

-[laughing] [Wendy] Let's go see what it's like.

[sisters laughing] [Sharon] Ah, good grief.

[Wendy] Right, are you ready?

[laughing] [exclaiming, laughing] Oh, my gosh!

[Davina] Next time, two women who've missed a father's love.

Because my dad wasn't there, I felt angry that he wasn't there and thought I must have done something wrong, and I didn't know why.

I'm hoping that I just have this person that I've been longing for and wanting to be part of my life.

Even if it's just a phone call.

Even if it's just for five minutes.

I just want to see my dad.
