Sara & Kate ... 'true heroines |

PAPER
ADDITION ONLY
WITH THANKS TO JON |

I was hugely impressed this week by two tragic mothers who somehow
manage to keep going despite suffering the torments of hell.
First there is the astonishingly brave Sara Payne, whose eight-year-old
daughter Sarah was murdered by paedophile Roy Whiting in 2000.
Sara has spent the past nine months ' the same length of time she
carried her little girl in her womb ' listening to fellow victims of
crime and hearing their stories of pain and betrayal.
Then there is Kate McCann. I met her for the first time this week and
found myself tearful at the sight of this bone-thin, haunted-eyed mum
who just wants her daughter back.
Both these women were thrust into the media spotlight through no fault
of their own, but have been grimly determined to use their unwanted
'fame' to try to make some sort of sense of their experiences.
For Sara who was appointed the government's victims' champion, it is a
passionate desire for those hit by crime to be heard, and not to be
forgotten. She has been through the justice system and knows its flaws
first hand.
Her long awaited-report will, hopefully, bring about much-needed change.
Hope
Kate just wants to ensure that Madeleine's disappearance remains in the
public eye and to appeal directly to anyone who might be shielding her
daughter's abductor.
A new campaign this week showed computer images of how Maddie might look
today, at the age of six.
The website with appeal video 'A Minute For Madeleine has received more
than four million hits.
No doubt some of the responses will be time-wasters, but there is always
the hope that one day there will be a breakthrough.
It is now more than two-and-a-half years since Madeleine disappeared.
Her little brother and sister are growing up with a ghost.
Four-year-old twins Sean and Amelie talk about her all the time and want
to know when she is coming home.
Heartbreakingly, they have told Kate and their father Gerry they want to
punish the people who have taken their sister way.
None of us can really know the anguish Sara and Kate have been through
and I cannot make up my mind who suffers more.
The mother who has had to bury her child but at least knows her fate, or
the mother who still has a glimmer of hope but never knows any peace of
mind.
What's certain is that both of them are fighters.
Sara battles in daughter's name for victims of crime and Kate will never
give up her search for her child.
They are real heroines. |
