Yahoo News Madeleine McCann's parents pay sweet tribute to missing daughter on 21st birthday
Madeleine McCann's parents have shared a poignant tribute to their daughter on what would have been her 21st birthday. The couple shared a message saying that they are "still looking" for her.
The heartfelt words were posted on the official Find Maddie Campaign Facebook page this Sunday, May 12. The post reads: "Happy 21st birthday Madeleine. Still missing, still missed, still looking."
Accompanying the touching tribute was a photo of a young Madeleine, donning a white sun hat and pink dress, smiling brightly.
The post has since garnered a wave of support, with hundreds commenting to express their continued hope and well-wishes for the McCann family. One person commented: "This brought tears to my eyes. What a nightmare. I think we've all probably be thinking and praying a little more for Maddie and her family today."
Another shared: "Happy 21st Maddie. I always wish for answers for your family."
And a third added: "Happy birthday, sweet girl. We haven't forgotten, we never will."
Madeleine's disappearance, which occurred during a family holiday in the Algarve, has left a void for 17 years, having last been sighted on May 3, 2007. Her parents expressed their sentiments on a social media post on the anniversary of her disappearance, saying: "Whilst we are fortunate in many ways and able to live a relatively normal and enjoyable life now, the 'living in limbo' is still very unsettling. And the absence still aches."
