Of course I agree with your mom! Of course I feel strong the need to add something more.<BR/>Many years ago (suppose 50) I have also met your grandfather, Costas, visiting my family at our home at Athens, coming with gifts for all of us (some dollars for me), now remember him as a successful businessman who left also his little village “Rododafni” to work and live so far, smoking “grand cigarettes” as I was always curious to ask him, after met him again at “Akoli” spending time for fishing, after… <BR/>It will be also unforgettable to me, all my life, the moment when the four machine of SABENA airplane start to run in front of the «good bye» terrace of the old Athens airport “Elliniko”, forcing chairs and tables to fly and some moments later took for first time your father so long away, looking a better life with his father and brother.<BR/>We are all proud when our children do success in their life better than us. <BR/>Aim sure that also your father would felt as me, as your mom also does it today. <BR/>That’s the reason I did dare it. To thank your mom remember us. <BR/>I feel proud for all of us! <BR/>Uncle <BR/>Ps. I didn’t use any dictionary! I try to write as I felt.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726489589355224507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461845610389277779.post-85229156026792257052008-11-17T12:40:00.000+01:002008-11-17T12:40:00.000+01:00I think he should START WRITING ABOUT THEM...Mrs K...I think he should START WRITING ABOUT THEM...<BR/><BR/>Mrs Koula, dont worry... let him come back to, at least Europe(!!!!), and we will take care of him !!!!<BR/><BR/>:)Georgios Teriakidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150777341487698193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461845610389277779.post-8533626074339802902008-11-17T12:21:00.000+01:002008-11-17T12:21:00.000+01:00Hi Costa,Very touching your little bit about your ...Hi Costa,<BR/>Very touching your little bit about your immigrant grandfather from your mothers side... but its also worth mentioning your grandfather from your fathers side. Remember he also left poor Greece in search of a better life and also a better education for your father to countries which were then quite unknown and difficult to live in.
