The fate of flight MH370, a Malaysia Airlines jet that vanished without a trace somewhere off the coast of Vietnam, remains unclear. And though the likelihood that any of the 239 passengers and crew survived is diminishing hour by hour, Maira Elizabeth Nari has yet to give up the idea that her father, chief steward Andrew Nari, may still be out there.
Nari has been tweeting her thoughts and prayers over the past few days, drawing countless messages of support as the world waits, breath held, to learn what really happened.
God.... The only thing I want is my father..... Nothing, but my father. I want my father back. :'(

I really do hope that people will stop spreading rumours and all those edit photos and ect or anything as it effects my feelings.

Don't you blame the pilot. It is truly a big responsibility for them as they are bringing hundreds of life behind their back. Thank you.

Was having my lunch earlier, and I told myself, " Dad must be hungry ". Sigh..., where are you? :'(

My dad and all the other crews, together with the passengers of MH370 must be so happy that the whole world is praying for them! :'D

Normally at this hour, before my dad goes to bed, he would tell me this, " Don't sleep so late okay ", hahaha. :'3 Goodnight, daddy. :')

Since almost everybody is asking about my mom, she's okay. She's standing real strong. & with the support we received, we're okay.

I'm tired; my feelings, my body, my mind. Sigh..
