..I just remembered one of the things I thought was a little 'odd'...not about the night she went missing but the part I saw of tonight's interview with them...when they said that the time they felt her absence most was at 'family gatherings/birthdays..'...I get that completely and the first few years are difficult but in a way you kind of know that's going to happen so you build and strengthen your emotions for it and it's still hard and sad and that person is very much missed...but the time that I think and feel a loss most is those things you don't expect..just everyday things..something someone says/something you watch on TV/the way a certain person says something etc..and it can remind you/bring associations that almost floor you because you didn't see it coming...do you know what I mean..?...if we're talking about what 'expected behaviour' would be..not you and I but in general in this case...that's what I as a parent/daughter would 'expect' them to have said....
