Missing steward's daughter shares heartbreaking messages
Goes on Twitter to express her grief and concern, asks people not to blame the pilot
The daughter of MH370 chief steward Andrew Nari shared her heartfelt messages to her missing father on Twitter yesterday.
Maira Elizabeth Nari used her twitter handle @Gorgxous_ to express her grief and concern over her missing father. In a series of tweets, she wrote:
“God... The only thing I want is my father... Nothing, but my father. I want my father back.”
“Daddy, you’re all over the news and papers. Come home fast, so you could read them! Don’t you feel excited?”
“Daddy, it’s almost 48 hours. Don’t forget to eat your dinner. You must be starving.”
“Come home fast, dad.. It’s the only thing I want.”
At around 2am yesterday, she tweeted:
“Normally at this hour, before my dad goes to bed, he would tell me this, ‘Don't sleep so late, okay?’ Goodnight, daddy.”
Maira’s heartbreaking tweets caused a huge outpour of support and encouragement, with friends and strangers assuring her to stay strong.
@MeMonstaaa tweeted: “@Gorgxous_ feel sorry for you. God bless you and your dad. Keep praying and keep thinking positive. Stay strong girl.”
Another Twitter user @Anis_Faizal tweeted: “Stay strong @Gorgxous_! I’m sending prayers and a virtual hug for you.”
Maira thanked everybody for their support by tweeting: “I'd like to thank everyone for their concern towards my dad and the whole passengers of flight #MH370. Only God can repay your kindness.”
She also thanked Mahathir and his wife Siti Hasmah for their support.
“It’s very nice, kind and thoughtful of Tun Dr Mahathir and his loving wife to give us the support we need. God bless them,” said Maira in her tweet yesterday morning.
“When Tun Dr Siti Hasmah hugged me, she said, ‘Stay strong, keep on praying. Remember the happy moments in life’. She’s beautiful,” Maira wrote.
“You know what makes me keep going? Supportive family members, friends and all of you who never stop giving positive support and prayers,” Maira tweeted.
“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,” she wrote.
Maira also hoped that people would stop spreading rumours about Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
“I really do hope that people will stop spreading rumours and all those edited photos or anything as it effects my feelings,” she wrote.
Maira also urged the public not to blame the pilot, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, for the missing plane.
“Don’t you blame the pilot. It is truly a big responsibility for them as they… [have] hundreds of lives behind their back,” she said.
Maira is clearly close to her father. The caption of a picture she posted of herself with her father on February 24 said: “He’s my true happiness.
I love you through thick and thin, forever, daddy.” Before that, on July 29 last year, she posted a photo with the caption: “This is my father and I, and I forever will be daddy’s little girl.”
