Tomorrow, former footballer Ashley Cain and Safiyya Vorajee should be watching their daughter Azaylia taking wobbly steps and playing with her favourite toy. Instead they will spend the day at her graveside, marking the first anniversary of her death.
“While we usually try to celebrate her life, this day will be sad,” says Safiyya, 34. “We’re going to make the day as special and as beautiful as possible. We’ll release three doves to represent mummy, daddy and Azaylia and we’ll bring the family together at her resting place, shed some tears and make our prayers.”
Despite the couple announcing the end of their relationship just a few weeks ago, they are as close as ever when it comes to matters of their daughter and the foundation they set up in her memory.
