MADELEINE

It was almost a year that little Madeleine McCann simply vanished while sleeping in her bedroom on holiday. Since I became a mum every single news related to children touches me very deeply. Some people could say, ok, it hasn't even happen here, it's in another country, another continent and most of all... maybe that I even didn't know her. Well I just can say ...what is the difference between that girl and my little daughter? one is british and the other one is chilean. And thats' it. When you have children you cry for other kids. It sound dramatic but it is. It makes me feel sad, angry and so useless. Why do these things have to happen to OUR children? It made me sad when I knew about Yeremi Vargas from Spain, who's been missing for more than a year. Or Mariluz Cortès, also from Spain, whose body was found after being missing for almost 2 months. Can we forget about Camila Godoy and Sofìa Saravia who were found dead in Valdivia last february? What's going on? I once, not a long time ago, while I was watching the news, heard someone said that children are not your sister's or your neighbor's, children are OURS, and by OURS she meant that we all MUST take care of every single child we see. Now, everytime my daughter goes out and plays with her little friend I make sure that by the end of it, the friend gets into her house and then, only then I come in with Valentina. I think Madeleine McCann represents two very important things: 1st you can't "blink" when you are a parent, because there too many sick people in the world, and 2nd...HOPE, we haven't heard of a body, there's no evidence so...she could be alive. I'll hold to that one.
