My Yaiya was walking and my Papou knew he had to marry her. He asked her father for permission and they lived a hard life. He played for the Yankees as a professional ball player for only a couple years until he was injured. He was a sheriff and got sick with kidney problems. My Yaiya worked her whole married life to him, supporting and care taking. I don't know how she did it.
She never complained though. She just did the best she could. I love her saying "Put it in one ear and out the other." or "Life is not easy". She really was such a good friend to me and helped me to understand what true love is. She used to call me in Greek, my soul. I miss her so much.
