There are those who tell us that time will heal the pain and hurt you are now feeling. Having traveled this road in our own family I can tell you they are wrong. Your mind will come to accept what has occurred but the pain and hurt in your heart I fear will never go away. When you hit your knees in prayer thank the Good. Lord for having loaned you your mother’s son and your brother. We have and will remember your family and our very close friends in our prayers that the grace of the Almighty bless you with some degree of comfort.
I was very young when I met panos, he lived in my basement, me and my sisters would call him uncle because we were so close. For me he was more of a father. He cooked for us and took us places. He taught us some Greek, I will never forget him fly high Panos ❤️
