Croatian radio host and singer Saša Lozar became visibly emotional during a broadcast on Antena Zagreb, grappling with his daughter's upcoming move to study in the Netherlands. The impending departure has left him feeling "completely broken," as he shared with his colleagues.
Tomorrow I'm moving my daughter because she's going to study abroad and I realized I'm completely broken.
As his daughter prepared to leave, Lozar's colleagues at Antena Zagreb surprised him with a special segment. They compiled a series of humorous and touching anecdotes Lozar had previously shared on air about his daughter, whom he often referred to by the fictional name 'Alex,' and her brother, 'Evan.' These stories recounted various moments, from discussions about her first dates to forgotten school books and her decision to study abroad.
One particularly poignant moment involved Lozar recalling his daughter's decision to move to Utrecht in the Netherlands for her studies, a choice he had previously discussed with a mix of pride and apprehension. The compilation served as a nostalgic reminder of their shared history and the approaching transition.
Such dual emotions that I have within me, like pride, sadness, I wish her happiness, I wish her to return, to... achieve great things, to seize that opportunity. Am I losing her? Am I... no, no, terrible? I really don't know how I'll finish this sentence, so please, you continue.
However, the emotional climax came when Lozar's daughter sent a personal video message. Addressing him as 'super dad Evan,' she expressed her love and assured him he would be missed, urging him never to forget it. This heartfelt message ultimately brought Lozar to tears, concluding the segment on a deeply personal and moving note.
Hey Alex, your super son Evan here. I just want to let you know that I love you very much, that I will miss you a lot and I hope you know that and that you will never forget it. Also, I don't want to drag it out too much so that I don't accidentally start crying, so... Bye.
