Now then.. Was visiting Lollie in hospital on Wednesday (5 weeks now and they are saying at least another 3 aaaargh) and the old girl in the bed opposite had a visitor. Now talking to Lollie, I looked up twice as I knew I knew her if that makes sense. Lollie was looking at me all confused then her visitor went off to get coffee. I said to Lollie, 'that's Kate McCann that' ask the old girl when she's gone. Lollie being Lollie didn't wait and asked, ' you have a new visitor?' to which the old girl answered, yes it's my Kate, my niece, her little girl was abducted in Portugal, Madeline. Well Kate came back with the coffee's and it was visiting as usual. I had to go and the old lady across said her buys as usual and Kate did addressing me by name. No doubt she had been discussing Lollie's state and problems with her. The moral of this tale is, I always thought that they were guilty of something and before the child neglect stuff comes out, I mean more than that but they were certainly guilty of that. What I am trying to say is that we all have a staunch view but when you see the person in the flesh then more than one picture gets painted. She looks hagged btw, whether through guilt or what she has been through I don't know but I will always remember meeting Kate McCann..
Difficult subject, my opinion is that if they were'nt doctors the other children would have been taken into care, it is in-excusable to leave a child alone whilst you are out galavanting. On the radio today it was saying that police have identified new suspects, i believe she was taken to order and is still alive and i sincerely hope she is found. There is something like £6.5m in the find maddie fund? Reckon thats why those idiots hid there daughter in a drawer that time? Makes you wonder like, neither of them have worked since? Still i dont see any evidence of them being involved, its all a crying shame really, never let your kids out of your sight! End of! I dont have much sympathy for the mcanns, would love for maddie to be found
Cracking reply mate but the old lady said they can only visit Wednesday's as it's there only time off work. I have a bouncing 3 and a half year old and with juggling Lollie 50 miles away in hospital and her it's fckin tough I tell ya. She never leaves my sight at anytime and the care team have to be at their best around her. Kids eh? Fckin love my Ella and her mum in everyway..
Believe me, I am a person to do that but, something and I say something made me retract every hackle, every emotion and watch this lass visit her aunty with so much care and love. Whether it's guilt, I don't ****ing know, all I do know my hackles went down..
Heat of the moment, first reactions reply, Joe. I guess it would be different once you have come across somebody, I know I have had to change my stance on how I viewed people once I got to know them. I don't know mate, as a father of two girls, I feel so sorry for Maddie. Such a shame.
I think her work is the find maddie foundation mate, its all she does now and u cant blame her for that although she gets no let off from me, we go on our jollies on sunday with mam & sis in tow, 8 eyes on our 2 at all times, hope lollie is ok mate must be tough, our first born was 10 weeks prem, in intensive care for 6 1/2 weeks life/death, its a real ****er having to back and forth i know, but what else can you do? Our second born was admitted after 4 days with suspected menungitus, the missus stayed at the hospital with her so i had a 17 month old and the trips to make, its **** but you get through it matey
Iv'e had 3 and a half years of it mate, Ella was 2 weeks old when Lollie's body gave up, she was 31 then. I raised Ella on my own and looked after Lollie for 6 months until a social care budget kicked in. I got her rushed in 5 weeks ago as her skin started to fall off around her groin area and huge open sores appeared. It's a long complex story mate to much for typing but all I will say it's been a ****ing nightmare. She's not home yet, there's been complications with the wounds not healing & infection, so you can see where I am. You take care mate..
All the best marra, hang in there and we'll say a little prayer for her tonight when the girls go down
I'm sure we will and i'll not post too many random pics of sunnier climes on random threads just for thr crack, honest
Ha ha, you do it mate, this is a time now thing in our abode, it will be a long road but we will get there. Funny thing love, my woman is contorted, twisted and in a mess but to be with her tonight in hospital and cuddle her and tell her everything is gonna be ok would be the highlight to everything Iv'e done in life. Never be without Lollie now, the nicest person Iv'e ever met in life..
I was really hoping you'd be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel at this new place mate. I'm not a religious man but you guys are often in my thoughts.
Closure won't happen until a good few years yet Billy, been doing a 85 mile round trip each day to see Lollie in hospital, need to get her home soon, didn't think things could get worse but we look to 2/3 weeks time when she will be home and aim that as our target. Hope things are good with you mate? & thanks for the post & concern. A true good man, you are in every way..
hi joe, i dont know you personally but when i read a post like thjs it makes me think you are a very good person and i wish you and your family all the luck in the world.
About a year ago I was down at "Conkers" a visitor centre in the National forest near Burton upon Trent for a day out with my wife and two kids. Kate and Gerry McCann were there having a day out with their kids (Twins I think) it was just incredibly sad. they were obviously trying to carry on as normal for their other kids but they just looked empty and haggard. I agree no-one should ever leave their kids alone and I would never do it, but I did really feel for them. Lets hope Madeline is found safe and well one day soon.
