My father, you had promised you would spoil your grandchildren and torment me.
The most poignant moment of the service came when his son, Roberto Carriere, took the floor. With palpable emotion, he delivered a eulogy that moved many in attendance. "My father, you had promised you would spoil your grandchildren and torment me," he said with a broken voice, eliciting profound sadness.
Godfather, you were a very beautiful person, both externally and internally. You managed to tame the storms of your life and tame the demons that haunted you from your cradle. You found your beloved Elena and together you created a beautiful and close-knit family. This was something only you knew how much you had missed and how much you longed for.
Throughout the ceremony, Roberto stood by his mother, Elena Katrava, and his brother, Alessandro, as the family leaned on each other during this difficult final goodbye. The atmosphere was one of deep sorrow, yet also of profound love and shared remembrance. The eulogy from Carriere's koumbaros (godfather), Giannis Koutrakis, also touched upon the deceased's life struggles and his deep desire to build his own family, recalling a recent conversation where Elena had wished for "a miracle."
One thing: 'A miracle.'
