NEVER GIVE UP

From The Mirror (UK newspaper) today:

NEVER GIVE UP:

by Fiona Phillips

I attended An Evening For Madeleine 1000 Days On on Wednesday. It´s that long since Madeleine McCann was abducted while on on holiday on Portugal.

It´s that long - though it must seem like an eternity - that Kate and Gerry the greatest sadness there can ever be. The loss of their beautiful daughter lives with them every moment of every day.

Kate told friends, supporters and fundraisers: "I can´t speak too much about Madeleine, otherwise I´ll be in a heap". She did say how much "Madeleine is still loved, she is still missed and we want her back so much".

Kate and Gerry paused to compose themselves several times. After a moving video - reminding us of the search for Madeleine - had the whole room in tears. Gerry´s voice broke as he said: "It´s so painful watching that". Their message was: "Don´t give up on Madeleine or the hundreds of other missing children. Go to www.findmadeleine.com or call 0845 838 4699".

For me, missing is not lost. The proof of that is this: Natascha Kampusch, Shawn Hornbeck, Jaycee Lee Dugard. So, for me, Madeleine is not lost, like these three cases, she can be found.

Spot on, Pedro.

The McCanns have no need to worry, we are NOT going to give up on Madeleine, we will NEVER give up on her or them, we will STAY with them until she is found. Kate and Gerry McCann should also take heart that through Madeleine and her abduction and through their incredible pain and distress, the profile of other missing children has been raised worldwide.
Even after Madeleine is found and returned home, we are NOT going to stop highlighting the terrible sense of loss and tragedy and the appalling suffering the abducted child and their parents and families are forced to endure, often made worse by attention seeking evil limpets who think nothing of using people thrust into these dreadful circumstances for their own personal gain.

Madeleine and Kate and Gerry McCann have no fear, we are with you all the way and for what it is worth, I just have a feeling that this year, sometime soon, Madeleine is going to be found and I have never had that feeling before, I have had this feeling since the turn of the year.

Rosiepops my friend, well put.

Well said Rosie, I too am inclined to think 2010 is the year.
Dont know why, just do. May-July 2010. Lets see.
Just a hunch, but we can only hope.
