Hello,
As I am half Greek, I have family in Greece. Most of them I haven't seen in my entire life, others I haven't seen for 15 years and for one family member, that was the last time I ever seen him. Fifteen years ago, when I was five years old.
My great-grandfather got ill, his health started going worse and it only lasted a couple of days before he passed away, which was last sunday, at the age of 93. Ever since, my great-grandmother, who is 92 years of age, has been doing worse every day. She doesn't eat and hardly sleeps and does nothing but crying all day. Today I received the news she too, is close to death.
I lost my chance in ever telling my great-grandfather how much I love him and how much I have missed him, over the past fifteen years, but I don't want to lose the last chance I get with my great-grandmother.
And even though I would really love to pay her a visit, circumstances won't allow me. And so I want to write her a letter. Not a very long one, but a letter that tells her I love her and I miss her, to let her know I have thought about her every single day, for the past fifteen years.
Unfortunately, she only speaks Greek, and even though my Greek is ok while speaking it, my writing is like that of a 4-year old.
This is why I need somebody to translate me a short amount of text, a short letter, from English to Greek. You might be somebody who is able to, or you might know somebody who is able to, but either way, I need all the help I can get with this and I need it soon, because she might not have that many days to live anymore.
Please PM me, or post a comment and I'll PM you, if you can and are willing to help me. Even the slightest help, the try alone, means more to me than words can ever explain.
Thank you in advance.
This is the text I would love to have translated in greek writing, please?:
Dear Grandmother,
I am sorry about grandfather Pagonis. I wish I could be there for you in this difficult time and I hope to be able to visit you very soon, but all I can do now is write this letter to you.
I have missed you very much over all the years I haven't seen you, but I thought about you every day. I wondered every day how you were doing and all I wanted to do was come to see you, but I was too afraid. Afraid that you might not know who I am when you seen me.
Even though I haven't seen you for so long, you have always been in my heart and I missed you every day. I know this letter can't make up for all the time we lost, but I hope it will make you feel like I am there, telling this to you, instead of writing it in a letter.
Love you always,
Antoinette.
