Today, March 8, marks one year that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing. The ill-fated jet with 239 people on board, officially remains missing despite an international search for the jet that left Kuala Lumpur but did not make it to Beijing.

For majority of the relatives of the 152 Chinese passengers on board, there is no closure due to the lack of evidence that the plane crashed as many people believe.

One such person is Jun Ku, whose husband Chen Liping was one of the passengers aboard the plane. She recalled that Chen even called her close to midnight of March 7 to inform her that he has gone through security checks and is just waiting to board the aircraft.

Her posts in microblogging site Weibo reflect the angst as well as the anger she felt because over the months there is no concrete answer what happened, just theories.

They have been told by the Malaysian government to leave the hotels in Beijing paid for since the land and air search was called off. But for Jun, hope still reigns in her heart as reflected in her blog, "Please, husband, please come home safely, let my heart feel comforted and not lonely any more. Please come back," quotes BBC.

Not giving up hope that their kin is alive are relatives of flight crew, like the family of in-flight supervisor Patrick Francis Gomes whose things and room are still untouched since the day he left for the flight that would change the lives of 239 families.

It includes Gomes's shorts which remain unwashed on his bed's post, an unironed uniform and mouldy leather shoes outside his bedroom, reports Asiaone.com.

Helping fuel that hope the plane did not crash and the people aboard didn't die is a statement on Sunday from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Wi that the search for MH 370 will go on, even as other nations such as Australia which led the search is ready to throw in the towel, reports Reuters.

Another sign that Malaysia has accepted the reality that the plane could possibly not be found is the embattled Malaysia Airlines have started to pay compensation to the families of the passengers and crew.

 In the past 365 days, theories have been floated such as the pilot deliberately diverting the plane as his way of avenging the sentencing of his friend, Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim for sodomy, the Illuminati having a hand since a one of the passengers who didn't board the airline would benefit from a patent and earn million with the death of partners in the same flight, to the U.S. having a hand in the disappearance and the plane allegedly landed in Diego Garcia.

While the rest of the world is ready to move forward, the families of the victims are not. Jacquita Gonzales, the wife of Gomes, explains, "I can't let them go, because I still don't know what has happened."

And perhaps the world will never knew and the mystery of MH370 would remain as one of humanity's unsolved mysteries of the new millennium .
