Rembering MH 370

I was reading one of the articles of the next of kins of the MH 370 case, and just one is enough to make me weep a little and I couldn't get myself to read the other articles.

His shorts hang unwashed on the post of his bed. His flight uniform in the cupboard has still not been ironed. On the bedroom cabinet, Gomes’ dented wedding ring and mother’s chain lay coiled around a glass statue of Mother Mary.

Outside, Gomes’ leather shoes with the words “property of Malaysia Airlines” has grown mouldy, sitting untouched atop the shoe box it came in. In the kitchen, his flight schedule for March 2014 is still stuck on the fridge with a magnet.

In the bathroom, the 55-year-old’s razor and toothbrush are left undisturbed in his medicine cabinet, just as he had left them before he took a taxi to the KL International Airport (KLIA) a year ago today.

This is about the condition in in-flight supervisor Patrick Fran­cis Gomes' home. 

Some people move on, his, meanwhile are still waiting for him to come back.

As if the incident just happened yesterday.

And we are still praying and hoping that one day, they will come back.


8th of March every year marks the International Women's Day, and so to the women out there, Happy International Women’s Day!!!! ;)
