Outside the UK, but in Europe.

I've prayed for a safe return of Madeleine. We are a family of faith and I don't see why we shouldn't. I believe in God. As our daughter was dying our faith, the Church and our parishioners gave us so much. Comfort, hope, support. It got us through. Also, when you are that desperate for your...

My parents went last night and said he was really good. The second half especially.

How did the digging in the rain go? Heh! The Totton game was pretty good entertainment, been a long time since I've seen so many grown men dressed in pink, mind. Shame about the result.

Heh. I was the first generation on my fathers side to leave Ireland to live that we know of. It was something that had much of my extended family shun us for turning our back on the 'homeland'. It took a serious illness to have them want to be in contact with us again. Which is pretty sad really.

Father's father's father:- born in Co Donegal Father's father's mother:- born in Co Donegal Father's mother's father:- Born in Co Donegal. Father's mother's mother:- Born in Meath. She is still alive today. Mother's father's father:- Born in Derry. He is still alive. Mother's father's...

They might. Or they might just think you are a good parent doing all in your power to keep your children safe.

mrs starry is my ideal. she would chop my bits off if i put up a picture of her on here though. and since i can't do that i'll have this one instead.

Good luck both of you. I have absolute no knowledge of building websites so can't offer any help there. But let us know when your taking donations and such. Our daughters friend went to Guatemala on a sports initiative a few years ago, they had a website and on that website they had a counter...

Why?

On this point, it does, along with the other parents in this thread. I honestly cannot understand how anyone can say leaving children at home alone is OK. I want someone to explain that, I wish I could understand it, maybe then my opinion of the McCann's *might* change. As it stands, they...

The children had a vegetable chilli and rice. I had soup, that might as well have been heated up dirty dish water.

Do they? I don't think I know anyone that would agree with that. When we are on holiday I become all the more vigilant, my children are in new territory, out of their comfort zones etc. I think it's a valid comparison, Madeleine's parents decided to go for food with no childcare in place, I...

Not at all. I think if you are there supervising your children and doing all you can to maintain their safety you are doing all you can as a parent. Leaving them home alone to go out to eat/attend an appointment/visit a friend is not doing all you should be as a parent. I am here, the only...

40 yards though, on the other side of a huge swimming pool. The abduction isn't the only thing - like I said before a crying baby, a nappy, a nightmare. Going for tapas is something Madeleine parents will have to live with for the rest of their lives, it's not a risk I am prepared to take with...

We're off to that. Paddy plays cricket with one of the Totton lads.

I'd compare your situation to theirs had you taken your children to the beach, dropped them off and gone to the pub for a drink while they played. I'd assume that since you were there you were supervising your children and keeping them safe to the best of your ability, no parent has eyes in the...

Quite. I posted in the other thread about that, not being there should your child need a nappy, wake from a night mare, fall out of bed. Those are usually the first things that pop into my mind, rather than someone snatching my baby. It's tough to find the line that is there between giving...

Exactly. It doesn't get better tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. Time doesn't heal anything. Unfortunately :(

So, when does that moment pass?
