We went to Kostas and Maria's for coffee and a family party to look at photo albums old and new. They are of the younger generation, but do an amazing job of supporting the traditions of the family and of Velventos.
It was very emotional as it was toward the end of our trip, and the siblings had little time left to reconnect in person this time around (although we will bring them together again soon). My aunts and uncles went back to Kozani to buy an icon that they custom made for my dad. They had it specially inscribed with a message of love to my father from all of the siblings with their names printed on the back. It was a really nice moment for everyone, with a lot of hugs, kisses and tears.
