Day 144 - 24/09/2007
Monday
It is just over 2 weeks since we returned home from Portugal
Sean and Amelie have settled back in at home very well but they
do miss their older sister and we talk about her every day. For Kate and I it
has been incredibly difficult to come home without Madeleine but particularly
in such circumstances. Our family and friends have rallied round again as they
have throughout this entire nightmare and they have also helped keep on top of
the huge amount of mail from well wishers. At times our kitchen has looked like
a sorting office! We would like to thank everyone for their support. It helps
us keep sight of the fact that the great majority of people in this world are
good.
Kate and I have been very busy with our legal advisers as we
want to be eliminated from the inquiry as soon as possible and start
concentrating wholeheartedly again on the search for our daughter. We are very
confident this will happen when all the facts are presented together. We are
very grateful and thankful to have several businessmen who have pledged
financial support to cover legal costs and we were delighted Clarence Mitchell
agreed to help us as an official spokesman. It is scary and daunting to imagine
how we could have managed to deal with these latter ‘developments’ without such
offers of support and commitment. Clarence will try and minimise the impact of
the huge media interest in Madeleine’s disappearance on us, as we try and
return slowly towards as normal a life as is possible. Although we will NEVER
give up on Madeleine, we have to find the right balance for Sean and Amelie so
they too do not suffer unnecessarily.
In the meantime we will continue to cooperate fully with the
Portuguese authorities. I will update the blog periodically especially if there
is any major development.
