Just cried watching the police dvd about Madelaine, posted by Potty Mummy. I have spent a long week feeling ill and looking after the children, while my husband is away. I even put my eight year old son to bed nearly an hour early one night, as I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer. It was only 8 o clock! This is a sobering reminder of how lucky I am to be in that position. To have both of them here, safe and sound. Oh and have just heard husband’s taxi arriving from the airport!!

It is all beyond words really, yet you put it so well, Jo.

Oh honey – thanks for the mention. I was surprised it made me cry – but it truly did. I blubbed like a goodun!! It’s just the hideous thought that it could be you, your little one. And same as you, my two are so protective of each other. If I ever tell one of them off, they run straight to the other one for a cuddle. To have that taken away would be unbearable. It doesn’t mean that your 4 days of hideous yuckiness weren’t hell as well though – ill children are the worst – it’s just a different kind of hell. But yes ‘go and hug your kids’ should never be forgotten (even if they bite you or kick you – am having ‘issues’ with Edie at the moment)!!! xxxxx

R5 is only a month younger than Madeleine and I cannot imagine how I would feel in the McCanns’ shoes. Like everyone I’m hoping for a happy ending for them. (Glad to hear you’re all on the mend).

“Now go hug your kids.”

Yes, even when they are infuriating or haven’t done their homework or their bedroom is a mess or whatever, at least they are there. With you. The poor McCanns must have this dreadful ache in their hearts every day. Every minute of the day. Even if she’s alive and comes back one day things will never be the same. Their situation is every parent’s nightmare.

Every day when my son and daughter walk through the door after school I experience a mental sigh of relief.
