looking out for signs of life and the idea of keeping a light burning here for life looking back this way. The McCanns are optimistic, I think you can call that optimism hope. They have hope and that's what keeps them going. One thing Kate will say is that they don't have any concrete evidence to say that she's dead. For as long as that's the case, they have a parent's duty and it's their fierce desire to keep looking for her. And they have faith, they are strong Roman Catholics. That sense of lighting a candle, saying a prayer, keeping hope burning--I was trying to tap into that as well." The result, a sonnet, was also informed by his own experience of being the father of a ten-year-old daughter, Armitage acknowledges.
