My objectives are to raise awareness of issues surrounding parental child abduction and parental alienation. I also wish to support the Reunite International Child Abduction Centre charity in this venture Steve Monk-Daltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940425046230976903noreply@blogger.comBlogger96125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767622748408608835.post-12193544712373646962021-12-01T12:52:00.001+01:002021-12-01T12:54:22.161+01:00Shani Ormiston - "Dancing By The Mistletoe<div>Check out our amazingly talented friend Shani Ormiston 's 2021 Christmas song "Dancing By The Mistletoe". </div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CfmdVGxLgF4/YadiBDD1WgI/AAAAAAAC6OQ/Dx86YR-eaMYk_1k5jbH4pLFuZ02linCDACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/FB_IMG_1638359518566.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CfmdVGxLgF4/YadiBDD1WgI/AAAAAAAC6OQ/Dx86YR-eaMYk_1k5jbH4pLFuZ02linCDACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/FB_IMG_1638359518566.jpg" border="0" data-original-width="1080" data-original-height="1080" width="320" height="320"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Such a catchy tune and fun video which Michelle and I had the pleasure of watching the production of π and helping with in our very small way.. ππ π</div><div><br></div><div>Shani has been wonderful support for us with any charity events that we have organised over the years.

Yes 14! As we have done every year since she was taken, we will be trying to celebrate the day as much as possible and keeping cards and messages from friends and family for her to read when we are reunited. (let me know if you want a message from you kept for her).<br>
We keep all messages etc in a memory chest for her so she will be able to see for herself that she is, and has always been in our minds and in our hearts. We will also, of course, have cake ππ. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Next year, we plan to do another "Across Borders" event which Michelle is crazy enough to make the journey with me to help to raise awareness of parental child abduction and parental alienation.. and hopefully raise some funds for one or two worthy charities (TBD) .. Guess some more training is in order..</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks <span style="background-color:#D8DFEA;">Michelle Clark</span> and others who have stood by me, given your support, spoken up instead of just thinking how wrong this has been and those who have helped and supported these events and activities. Also those who have sent or posted messages of support. They all mean so much xxx</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have some amazing friends and family who I love and appreciate so much. You have helped to keep me strong, and smiling even when I have found moments so difficult. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We are one more day closer.. There will be an end to this madness.. Always loving you.. Forever your dad xx</p>

<a href="http://walkacrossborders.blogspot.com.es/2015/08/day-1-orihuela-to-el-pinos.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://walkacrossborders.blogspot.com.es/β¦/day-1-orihuela-tβ¦</a><br />
<br />
Our objectives were to:<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<ol>
<li> raise awareness of the issues surrounding parental child abduction and the impact on families and children</li>
<li> raise awareness of parental alienation abuse and the impact on families and children</li>
<li>
raise awareness of the failures in family court and with
authorities that sometimes appear to facilitate abduction, alienation
and false allegations which can be used as a heinous alienation tactic.</li>
<li> help the Reunite International UK charity who NEED the additional
resources to effectively support families who are involved in
international children's cases.. Over 17,000 calls were managed by their
advice line in 2014.</li>
</ol>
We had such wonderful support from so many people on this journey from which we were so grateful.<br />

I hope we achieved some of what we set out to achieve. I was pleased
that my mother was able to see us complete this before she sadly passed
away in November...<br />

She was so proud and fully supported the reasons why
we decided to do this.. Tragically, she never had the opportunity to
reunite with her granddaughter who she loved wholeheartedly until her
last breath... It still does not seem real that she is no longer with
us.. She was my rock... For such a small lady, she had so much courage
and strength.. She is missed so much <i class="_1gwo" title="frown emoticon"><span class="_skr">:(</span></i>..xxx<br />

<br />
Hopefully, we can continue to do as much as we can to try to make a
difference... a positive difference... and just maybe enough awareness
will be raised to prompt some change... <br />
Doing nothing achieves nothing... <br /> Nobody can do everything; but everybody can do something...<br />
One more day closer xxxx</div>

<br />
For those
who are parents affected by parental child abduction or alienation and
are not able to see their children, my heart goes out to you and
empathise with the hurt that you will undoubtedly be feeling.<br />
<br />
Please stay strong and try to enjoy the season as much as possible with
the people around you who, in many cases, share your frustration with
the system and really do care about you and your child(ren)!!<br />
<br />
If
you have your children with you this year, treasure every single moment
with them. They will never be this age again.. You are very blessed..xx<br />
<br />
Thank you to everybody that have stayed the distance, inspired me and
helped me to stay focused and positive when inside I my heart has been
shredded. Even more so with the sudden passing of my mother recently.. .
For such a small lady, she had a huge heart and such great courage.. A
true inspiration. She is missed so much.<br />
<br />
I really can't put into words how much I appreciate all that have given so much love and support.<br />
Love and best wishes!!! One Day Closer!! xx<br />

If you would like to participate with me for this event, please let me know so I can get the forms sent out to you. email: <a href="mailto:onedaycloser.reunite@gmail.com">onedaycloser.reunite@gmail.com</a><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>βThe death
of a child is indisputably one of the most incredibly horrible tragedies one
can imagine. Whether by sudden accidental circumstance, or by a more lengthy
cause as in illness, the loss of a child is undeniably painful to experience.
Painful to the parents, parents to the family, and painful to anyone related to
the child. Never knowing the laughter of that child again or the tears, the
joys and the accomplishments is a pain no parent should ever have to endure,
and yet it happens. No one might be to blame. It can just happenβ.</i> (Tim Line)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Imagine a
similar pain and the same sense of loss, with one exception-the parent is very
much aware that the child is alive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The effects
of Parental Alienation, Parental Child Abduction and retention are very similar
to the loss of a child in some other way. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the bereavement cannot end. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This feeling
of bereavement can also affect the child that an abducting/alienating parent
claims to love and can have serious emotional scars that can remain for a long
period of time - If not for a lifetime.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yet,
parental child abduction and parental alienation remain as silent abuses that
the effects never seem to be fully understood unless you or your family have to cope
with this trauma yourselves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Even parents
that are lucky enough to have any contact whatsoever with their children,
Parental Alienation, where a custodial parent maliciously tries to destroy the
relationship between the child and target parent, rips the innocent child from their
arms slowly. They witness the suffering. They witness the effects but they feel
powerless to do anything about it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The very sad
part of this is it is not unique. There are hundreds of thousands of children
and parents affected by Parental alienation and also thousands of cases
involving parental child abduction but it is only recently that law
professionals are starting to sit up and take notice of the traumatic<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>emotional damage that this can cause target
families and children.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you are a
parent, spend a moment to look at your children and imagine what it would be
like if you woke tomorrow morning to find that they are not there and you have

your children once they have been found to have been abducted abroad?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Imagine

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">People find it very difficult to understand

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Stage 1: SHOCK AND DENIAL. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
In many cases, a target parent can actually identify the signs that abduction
and alienation might occur but they are often given false reassurances that
this will not happen or is not happening by authorities and legal professionals.
When it does, the initial trauma is one of shock and numbness. However, there
is a belief that everybody around will be just as horrified at the situation
and will do everything they can to find a resolution to return the child to the
situation prior to abduction/retention</span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 2: EMOTIONS ERUPT. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Unlike a bereavement resulting from death, the shock never really passes as a
target parent fails to understand how the situation could have occurred and
begins questioning people around them. One minute they were a loving parent
sharing their childrenβs lives and the next, it is taken away from them, often
through no or little fault of the affected parent. Emotions can overflow their
usual boundaries. They are expressed in ways ranging from wrenching sobs to
gentle tears. </span></div>
<div class="MsoQuote">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">The strongest try to look for a resolution quickly and place
their trust in authorities, lawyers, courts and organisations to help them
resolve the situation. These emotions heighten even further if heinous
βtacticsβ are used by the other parent to achieve their alienating objectives
such as false allegations. <u>This stage in the grieving process is also without
end.</u></span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 3: ANGER. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Mixed with the hurt, many people feel angry. βHow could the other parent do
this to them?β, βWhy arenβt people doing enough to help?β, in cases where false
allegations are used as a mechanism to aliene and retain their child, βWhy are
the authorities listening to them? This is NOT me that they are talking about!β
They sometimes want to retaliate. Although the anger is towards the other
parent for their actions, it can also be transferred to other areas such as the
lawyers and authorities for their apathy and inaction. The anger can also be
misdirected at people closest to the target parent through their absolute
despair of the situation and this can affect friendships, relationships and
support. <u>This anger one feels can reappear so once again is another stage in
the process than can be without end</u></span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 4: SICKNESS. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Often the body acts out the pain being felt through actual physical symptoms.
Nausea, headaches, diarrhoea, extreme fatigue, lack of sleep <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are common. In some cases, panic attacks can
occur that can be compared to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) especially
in situation such as family court proceedings. <u>Once again, as these litigation
processes can be ongoing, so can recurrences of the sickness stage.</u></span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 5: PANIC. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Along with a time of sickness and emotional upset, people begin to realise that
they arenβt acting like themselves anymore. They begin to worry, wondering if
they are becoming mentally ill. They frequently ask themselves βWhat is
happening to me?β. From the outsiders point of view, this is often met with
wrongful judgement. They can lose sight of the person they really are and just
start to see the shell of the person that the target parent might be becoming
without the help to keep them strong and focused. The longer it takes for
resolution, the harder it is for the target parent to cope. Apathy often occurs
in other aspects of the target parents lives that could affect their work and
personal lives.</span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 6: GUILT. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Personal guilt feelings build up as people wonder whether they are somehow to
blame for the situation they find themselves in. They ask themselves if they
could have done something to make it differentβ¦. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>βif only . . .β</span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 7: DEPRESSION AND LONELINESS. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
The pain of their loss often causes people to withdraw into themselves. As the
depression deepens, friends and family find it harder to draw the person out,
to talk them into participating in regular activities again. Many suffer
detachment issues in their relationships with others. Mixed with the other
stages that are still present in some form, without understanding of family and
friends, it can appear as though the target parent does not WANT to be around
people who care when it is, in fact, quite the opposite.</span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 8: RE-ENTRY TROUBLES. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Once the effort is made to get back into the normal routine, the pain of loss
makes it difficult to be as trusting and open as before the loss. Suspicion
must be battled constantly. Friends and families are tested again and again.</span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 9: HOPE. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Only the very strongest emotionally of the target parents can maintain this.
They focus on areas that might be able to help others in a similar situation.
They identify the failures in the system that do not seem to protect and try to
do something about it. Some try to become advocates or write a book about their
experiences. Raise awareness in whatever way they can. <u>Some affected parents can
never reach this stage as they feel defeated, betrayed and can even result in
major depression or even suicide.</u></span></div>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Stage 10: ACCEPTING AND AFFIRMING REALITY. </span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"></span></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">
Sadly, a parent who continues to be subjected to alienation and
retention can never fully reach this stage. Many are forced into a position
where they have to box all of the emotions that they feel and βgive upβ on
finding a solution as a means of self preservation. Although they do not give
up on their love for their children, they give up hope of ever being a parent
to that child again.</span><br />

<div class="MsoQuote">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">In conclusion to this short paper, it
appears that when a child is retained, alienated and/or abducted the grieving
processes begins but can NEVER end until there is resolution. Unfortunately, in many cases, this forced "living bereavement" goes without deterrent or accountability in the family courts or by authorities which continues to subject families to this abuse.</span></div>

A couple of days have passed since the end of Walk Across Borders. I have had some time to relax and reflect and it's been quite a roller coaster journey in many ways but also an amazing experience that I would do again tomorrow if I could.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> I am staying with friends at the moment in UK who have been so fantastic to me and my family on a personal level at a times where I most needed it.. Thanks Nat & Ade.. I will never forget that</p>
<p dir="ltr">I just have a few more things to do here and then it's back to work..</p>
<p dir="ltr">Just as an addition to that, my employer has been fantastic in supporting me in giving me the time off to complete this so thank you Mark. That's really appreciated... I realise that you thought it was a crazy task that would be difficult but... I've done it :)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Looking forward to seeing friends and family back home in Spain ...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks again to everybody who has provided me with so much love, support and encouragement. .. One Day Closer </p>

It has been an amazing experience and a personal achievement for me. I stated my reasons and my goals and I feel that these have mainly been achieved<br />
<br />
Thank you to everybody who has supported me throughout. It really has meant so much.<br />
<br />
Day 44 began at Brentford railway station and I decided to take the route which would take us down by Chelsea Embankment although this made it a little longer, it seemed a nicer route..<br />

We stopped a few times on the journey since this was a much shorter walking day than any of the other days and arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice at just after 3.15 pm..<br />

met some of the most amazing people and I would like to thank every
single person who has given me the support and encouragement needed to
complete this journey.<br />
<br />
It is now almost at an end and I really hope that I have achieved some of the objectives I set out.<br />
Today, we were joined by Larysa, David and Kristina for the inititial
10 miles. Alison also walked with me while Martin drove the support car.<br />

<br />
This first 10 miles was completed at a relaxed pace which allowed us to
chat about my experiences on the walk and the serious subjects of
Parental Child Abduction and alienation. This pace also gave Larysa the
opportunity to collect mushrooms.<br />

Weybridge for a sandwich and then carried on another few miles until
they had to leave to get home. Thank you David and Larysa for buying
lunch. and thanks also for sharing this day with me..<br />

Following Weybridge, I continued alone as I headed to Brentford.<br />
There ware once again some lovely places but also,I'm sad to say, a
number of worrying people along the route who were actually quite
intimidating (fueled up with alcohol)<br />

After I had completed the day, Alison, Martin and I went for a meal which was lovely.. <br />
Unfortunately, Martin cant join us for day 44 for the last 10 miles
into London but his help and support over the past few days have been
really appreciated..<br />

The first part of the walk seemed to go realy quickly as Martin and I
were exchanging some of the stories of our journeys. It was an absolute
pleasure to walk alongside somebody who totally relates to what I am
doing and why. There were quite a few laughs on the way too...<br />

We
stopped for lunch in Farnham where we spoke to a few people about the
walk and then carried on to catch up with Alison who had driven a little
further ahead<br />

We then went to pick up Brum from back in Bordon... Unfortunately,
Sybil the satnav was still set up for "shortest" rather than "fastest"
route which made the drive interesting<br />
<br />
<u><b>23.1 miles completed today which makes the total after day 42 to be 1050.3 miles (1690 km)</b></u><br />
<br />
On day 43 I am setting off from Woking railway station at 8.30am and
heading to Brentford... Only 2 more days walking before I complete my
journey... Thank you everybody for your messages of support. This really
has helped to keep me going... One day closer xxx<br />

it was a shorter day since my schedule was to walk from Caen to the
port at Ouistreham..<br /> <br /> It was a sad day also as it was the last
day that Michelle would be with us driving the support car as she had
commitments the she needed to return to Spain for.. I couldn't say
enough how fantastic she has been x</span><br />

walked the full distance with me - this was a lot shorter than every
other day at only 10.7 miles so in some ways felt like a rest day..</span><br />

Boarding the ferry wasn't exactly straight forward as Brum was selected
by customs to be the vehicle that they wanted to fully check... Armed
with screwdrivers!!! gulp!!<br /> <br /> All was ok though and the officials were great to talk with so eventually, we boarded the boat...</span><br />

The entertainment on the boat consisted of quizes and rugby...
Obviously I mean the world cup on tv... I couldnt imagine Michelle and
Alison playing rugby... Although, that might have been more
entertaining.... ;-)<br /> <br /> Oh... and the quiz had Michelle in fits of laughter... Dont ask me why because I do not have a clue..lol<br /> <br />
It was quite late when we arrived in Portsmouth so we went to get a
fish & chips take-out and went straight to the hotel that was kindly
sponsored by a friend of mine John Ashcroft... Thank you so much John.<br /> <br />
I then had to take Michelle to Bournemouth airport for here early
morning flight so didnt get back to the hotel again until after 2.30...
Quite a mixed emotional day really... So pleased that we hit two targets
in 1000 miles and the completion of another country (France) but also
sad with Michelle having to leave... but we will skype her into the
final stages</span><br />

The walk was actually very nice for most of the journey. There was some
lovely countryside and apart from a few places in the initial section,
the roads were ok too.<br /> I was hurting a little towards the end of the day but not too bad...</span><br />

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText"><br /> <br /> Walk Across Borders has been an amazing experience so far and I hope that it has achieved much of what I hoped it to.<br /> <br /> My final day is France (Day 40) will be the walk from Caen to Ouistreham where we then catch the ferry to Portsmouth.<br /> <br />
Thank you so much to Brittany Ferries for providing us with a ferry
crossing and also to my friend John who has provided accomodation for us
once in Portsmouth<br /> <br /> On a personal matter that people need to be
aware of, we will unfortunately be restricted on media coverage when in
the UK and I can't really say much more about that at this time but I
hope that people will join us for some of the remaining days to continue
helping to raise awareness of parental child abduction and parental
alienation as well as supporting the Reunite International charity (<a href="http://www.justgiving.com/walkacrossborders" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>www.justgiving.com/</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>walkacrossborders</a>)<br /> <br />
Sadly, Michelle has to leave us tomorrow. She has been amazing support
throughout. I really don't know what I would have done without her...
It's such a shame that she can't see this to the end but it cannot be
helped.. <br /> <br /> Thank you all again for your encouragement, shared
posts, kind words and all the help you have given... It really has shown
that people do really care and this has meant so much to me...</span><br />

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText"><br /> <br /> We actually met up last
night totally by chance. We had parked the support car outside the
accomodation we had for the evening which was about 18km from my
starting point in Domfront. Didier was visiting this town and saw the
car so went to find us as the hotel.<br /> <br /> We met again in the morning at the tourist information in Domfront and set off away from this lovely little town.</span><br />

Michelle made a whole day without grinding my gears on turning the key
when already started... (at least, when we were there) .. Well done you
;-)...</span><br />

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText"><br /> <br /> Once we had reached our destination, we went for a
celebration drink (coffee for me) and then parted company with Didier...
It was such a pleasure to meet him and really appreciate the fact that
he walked the full distance.. Thanks :)</span><br />

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText"><br /> <br /> When walking, he also
came up with the thought of doing Walk Across Borders again next near as
a RELAY to get more parents and families involved in more locations..
Passing a baton to the next walkers... <br /> <br /> I think this would be a
fantastic idea... It could bring together all of the separate groups of
people... Mothers, fathers, grandparents, supporters, families etc etc
who have one IMPORTANT common concern... the welfare of their children.
One of the BIG problems with these groups is that they are too busy
fighting against each other that they appear to lose sight of the most
important point.... Maybe an event like this might change this and
prompt positive changes to the system?<br /> <br /> What do others think about this?<br /> <br /> Today we completed another 23 miles (37 km) to make the TOTAl walked after day 38 to be 960.2 miles (1545 km)<br /> <br />
Tomorrow we reach CAEN for my penultimate day in France before getting
the ferry to Portsmouth... We are trying so hard to find a way to keep
Michelle here for the end as she has come so far and been amazing
support... Obviously understanding and appreciating her other
commitments (but it would be lovely if she could stay an extra few
days)... hint hint<br /><br />Thank you to EVERYBODY who is supporting the Reunite International Child Abduction Centre via my JustGiving page (<a href="http://www.justgiving.com/walkacrossborders">www.justgiving.com/walkacrossborders</a>) xxx</span>Steve Monk-Daltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940425046230976903noreply@blogger.com0
