After reading “Is it time for Kate to give up the search for Madeleine” in the May’s Woman magazine I still have no absolute opinion.
It has been 5 years since the tragic news that little Madeleine went missing, with no sightings and no confirmed death; this little girl could be anywhere in the world, worst case scenario she could be buried six feet under. I cannot begin to even imagine the turmoil that Kate must feel.
I admit I have at times questioned Kate and believed she had something to do with the abduction or at least knew more than she was revealing, I am sure at some point you too have questioned why any mother would leave her children alone in a foreign hotel room.
The problem I have is that inevitably Kate is very much living in the past, she has two other young children living in the shadow of their lost sister. While their mom and dad dedicate so much of their time to media attention in the hope of finding a new lead, are these two other children suffering?
Would I give up looking if it were my daughter? I guess I would not. Should she move on with her life? Yes she should but in reality how can you?
Because of the media attention the McCann’s are very much in the public eye and I can’t help but think the twins they have will always be taunted with this tragedy, they are the siblings of the lost child. At age six do they at times get fed up of hearing about this sister they once had that is no longer here?
Will there ever be the happy ending we all wish for? Will Madeleine ever be found? Should Kate move on with her life?
