Gerry and Kate McCann reveal the reasons why they miss Maddie.



By Tracey Kandohla

Kate and Gerry McCann include her smile, her dimples, her sense of humour, her “chat” and her excitement in the festive build-up.



 The parents of Madeleine McCann have compiled a heart-rending list of all the things they miss about their long-lost daughter in the run-up to Christmas.

The list accompanies a picture of the couple standing at their front door in Rothley, Leics.

The photo, taken for the charity Missing People’s Home for Christmas Exhibition, is among 12 pictures of ­families who have missing loved ones.

The exhibition – at The Crypt in London’s St-Martin-in-the-Fields – highlights the plight of thousands of people across Britain who are living in limbo after the disappearance of a family member.



A charity spokesperson said: “These powerful images depict families standing by their front doors, symbolising the hopes and fears experienced by those desperately waiting for news.”



 The picture of heart doctor Gerry and former GP Kate , both 47, is on public view until November 22. The couple, parents to 10-year-old twins Sean and Amelie, refuse to give up hope of finding their eldest child, who would now be 12.

Madeleine disappeared from a holiday apartment in Portugal’s Praia da Luz in May 2007.

Missing People’s Jo Youle said: “The exhibition will give the public the opportunity to stand with these families missing a loved one by sharing messages of support.”


    Her smile
    Her laughter
    Her eyes
    Her dimples
    Her sense of humour
    Her smartness
    Her imitations of people and characters
    Her voice, her ‘chat’
    Her company
    That knowing look
    Her singing
    Styling her hair
    Chasing her round the garden
    Sharing her excitement in the run-up to Christmas
    Sharing anything
    Spoiling her on her birthday
    Shopping with her
    Going to a cafe with her
    Holding her, hugging her, kissing the top of her head
    Lying next to her
    Our complete family of five
    Everything
    We miss her

Thats really sad

That is the only problem i have with this
Whole debacle, if they were involved in any way, how could they keep up a pretense for Years...I suppose keeping out of prison is a good motivator, well a big one I guess

Who knows, only them

But they keep shootng themselves in the foot....time and time again...they will not give a single honest direct interview without scripted questions and  answers, if I missed one please cite it

After 8 years they should do something about it instead of simply talking about it. 

Offer a £ million reward to anyone who can reveal Maddie's whereabouts with a guarantee of immunity from prosecution and anonymity.

They have nothing to lose but everything to gain!

I'm not sure they could or should do anything at all while Madeleine's disappearance remains an active case in which leads are still being followed.

Neither would it be possible for the Drs McCann to guarantee immunity or anonymity to anyone ... imo that would be something only the authorities in Portugal and Britain could achieve and I think even they would have difficulty doing that in the full glare of the attendant publicity.

What is the betting such a move would encourage more FOI requests ... more letters to MPs ... more petitions etc ... from those anxious for Justice for Madeleine.

The recent dinner fund raiser for Missing people has already been subject to ridicule ... this poignant article will probably attract much of the same opprobrium from the same sources.

There aren't two sides to this discussion. Kate & Gerry, like many other parents,  have lost their child. They miss her
terribly and most of us can't even begin to imagine the pain & torment which they endure daily.
Anyone who can try to make a mockery of such grief should be examining their own soul very closely.

Choices, Carly. Sometimes parents make the wrong choice & their child pays the ultimate price.

Their child was lost as a result of what they failed to do.

Madeleine deserves the sympathy.

Not them.

They did leave Madeleine but that doesn't mean they don't miss her love her and want her back does it?

You think because they left Madeleine,  they don't deserve sympathy don't you?

Well it is obvious they are suffering because of what they did,  they will suffer until Madeleine is found, is that enough suffering for you?

I doubt it, you want to see them weeping and wailing not being able to carry on living, that would suit you wouldn't it?

[Alfred R Jones]

Do you think the reaction to this article from the online "sceptic" community shows the "Justice 4 Maddie" crusade in a positive light?

[slartibartfast]

From my experience being hugged by your children/grandchildren is one of the greatest feelings and would be way up on the list if anything happened to them.

[Brietta]

I am incredibly saddened by the treatment this couple and Madeleine are subjected to ... and those of us who have been able to hug our own children, stroke their hair and bury our noses in it just to smell it ... are touched by every single thing Madeleine's parents have been missing.
It takes a special kind of mentality to make the comments which have been made and I am at a loss why there are those who find it necessary to do so at the slightest excuse and why there are those who condone their actions and activities.

The mccanns have ruthlessly employed the media to portray the 'poor me' act.

What the photos do reveal is the mccanns show normal behavioral patterns when they want to, but would rather prefer the 'public' see the downtrodden image, as if they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders.

Like I said,  it doesn't wash.

There is a 'face' which is put on in public.  Never heard of the good old British "stiff upper lip"?  We used to be renowned for it.  As far as I am concerned the Drs McCann are past masters at it.  Sometimes that mask slips to reveal their suffering.
I think you may have been watching too much lizzie taylor for your own good.
