Holy Saturday 15 years back we went together to church for the First Resurrection service, when the priest started to say Anasta o Theos and started to throw the leaves, very loud you said "Pappa you made a mess clean them up now" and you rolled on the floor and started to pick. Memories that don't bring you back agapi mou. Kali anastasi in heaven. How much I love you! Your yiayia Christina

So many memories of that day 11 years back. I held you in my arms, I heard
your heart beats, I admired you and I thought of you growing, with your college hat, instead 7 years of silence
and every time in my dreams always going away and smiling. Why did you want to part in such young age from us.
We love you, not a day goes by without
you in our hearts and minds. My baby why instead of giving you gifts in your birtday I must light you candles?
I love you more and more each day that goes by and I won't rest till the day we meet again. Play in heven my baby.

A poem written by my daughter, Christina, in memory of her cousin, Stathaki. We all miss you.
Nightmare of a Memory
You’re walking in the rain,
And hiding all your pain,
No one sees your tears.
And just as someone nears,
You smile,
And keep it in for a while.
Bottled up inside,
You simply want to hide,
That day so long ago,
The pain you didn’t show,
The pain you didn’t speak,
It made you all that weak.
Keeping it all inside,
Simply wanting to hide,
And release it all,
You now decide to bawl,
While walking in the rain,
Releasing all your pain.

We are so sorry with the loss of your precious son. We can't even begin to imagine what you are going through right now. Nothing can explain a tragedy like this. We can only pray and believe that Stathis is in the hands of God and that he will have eternal peace and happiness. One day you will be reunited with him and all this is forgotten. Until that day comes, may God give you the strength to cope and continue on each day.
Our prayers are with you.
