In a touching post-Thursday night, he addressed the death of his father for the first time, Kosta Hardavella, his namesake son revealing what was the last thing he said to him.

“The last time we spoke, he had lost his speech, we were now communicating in both of our favorite ways, writing on a page to each other. The last thing he said to me was ‘Don’t worry, we’ll grow up together,'” Constantinos Hardavellas
wrote.

“So, I won’t say goodbye because I know a part of you will always remain with me. As you said, we will grow together, and one day we will meet again through someone else’s eyes,” concludes the son of Kostas Hardavellas in his post.
