He is a very special person, kind, kind-hearted, with morals and principles. Once upon a time his life had given him everything, a beautiful family, a good job and he was very happy. Unfortunately, six years ago his life played a very bad game…
Stavros Ioannou from the village of Sotira in the Province of Famagusta, reports to Ant1.com.cy:
"I was born on 30/9/1977 in Sotira and I have four brothers. I had a beautiful childhood because we then grew up in a world full of emotions, carelessness and play. It was then that everything was simple and safe. My father is a priest and on Sundays we always went to church and we always had God with us.
I graduated from the Hotel Department of the Technical School and after the army I got a job immediately. My life changed in 2001 when I met my wife. In the beginning we were only in the summers because she was studying, she was a teacher. In 2003 we got engaged and in 2004 we got married.
We were very happy, we dreamed about the future and we thanked God for every moment. Our happiness became even greater when in 2011 we had a little girl. We had everything a person needs to feel really happy, our love, our baby, our home. We knew that happiness, like love, is what a person's soul can feel brighter and warmer.
A year later…
Everything changed in our lives, our dreams were replaced by fears and we lost our strength…
My wife started bleeding and a few days later, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. But the doctors told us that everything would be fine and that he would get over it. We were happy. We did the chemotherapy and after everything went well she returned to her work and our beautiful life. Our dreams for a happy and beautiful life, like the one we had, were born again and everything was the same as before. Unfortunately…
In June 2013 he had severe leg pain and could not walk well. We went for exams. The cancer had spread throughout her body. He started the chemotherapy again but he lost a lot of weight and could not stand it. He suffered daily from horrible pains and everything became even more difficult.
On September 20, he passed away forever. It was night and the clock read 8:15. I held her hand and wiped her mouth when she closed her eyes forever. The woman I loved so much, with whom I made all my dreams, was no longer with me σα I was in a lot of pain and suddenly there was nothing…
Our daughter was two years old then and she was constantly looking for her mother, she was shouting loudly "mom". I went to a psychologist to help me with my child, I needed to know what to tell her. When she grew up she cried because she was afraid I might die too and be left alone. She suffered when at school some children made fun of her, saying "you are an orphan, you do not have a mother".
Fortunately, I always have my mother and my sisters by my side, who support me a lot and help me with my child. I thank them from the bottom of my heart!
I hardly go anywhere without my daughter…
We are always together. We cook together, clean the house, go for walks in the park. I try as much as I can to fill the gap.
I often see my wife in my dreams. Always the same dream πω I see her but when I shout at her she disappears. But I know that he sees us from above and is proud that we are so loved and connected.
May all the children of this earth always have both their parents near them, may they not experience orphanhood, may their souls never suffer ".
