Maira responds to LFC support message
The daughter of missing chief steward and Liverpool fan, Andrew Nari, has responded to a special message from the club as support continues to flood in from Kopites all around the world.
Maira's father was one of 239 people on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 when the aircraft, heading from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, went missing on Saturday, March 8. The search is ongoing.
Her poignant tweet below was posted during the Reds' 3-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday and prompted an enormous amount of touching and heartfelt replies from people moved by the situation.
Daddy, Liverpool is winning the game. Come home, so you can watch the game! You never miss watching the game. It's your very first time. :')

One such reply came from Liverpool FC itself; after first sharing Maira's original message to almost 2.5million followers, a direct response was delivered to the young girl to show that both her and Andrew are in the thoughts of everyone connected to the club.
@Gorgxous_ Just to let you know that we are thinking of your father & all those still missing from flight #MH370 Be strong. YNWA

Shortly after, she shared her joy at receiving communication from her father's team, revealing the strength of his support for the Reds and pledging how happy he would be to see the tweet.
@LFC If dad sees this, he'll be so happy! He'll be smiling, he'll be laughing. I can imagine how happy he'll be. Dad's a big fan of LFC! :'D
