The Post:

“My Emma, my love, my life, my breath… Yesterday, I heard your heart beating strongly again… just like when I first heard it on the ultrasound… just like when I held you tightly. The Greek language is rich in words, but there is no word to express this feeling!!

Thank you… for giving me the chance to hear her heart beating strongly again… to feel her warm embrace again…

Thank you for keeping her alive…

I am sure that Emma chose you to take her heart… take good care of her!!”
