I was here again 10 days ago (Singapore) but few hours after I step foot in the city I received a call from my parents back in Greece. My nephew and beloved godson, who carried my first name, died unexpectedly in a tragic accident. He was 10 1/2 years old. He fell off the balcony at the apartment where my sister and her husband (together with their 3 kids at the time) had moved in 7 months ago. The apt was on the 8th floor so my beloved nephew was pronounced dead in not more than 12 hrs after the unfortunate event.

Take care, life is precious and every single minute should be enjoyed to its fullest.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I've read about the incident on the papers and, as a father of 3 children (one of which is a 10 1/2 years old boy) I was socked.

I am speechless.

May you and your family find the courage and strenght required to continue your lifes and support the other kids.
