As another year comes to a close, my thoughts are filled with you. I miss you deeply and often imagine how you have grown. This year, I\u2019ve sent you a couple of New Year\u2019s cards along with some photos I created. These images represent how I envision you, Anthoula, and Alexandra, at around 17 to 19 years old. The results are truly astonishing, a testament to the remarkable advancements in technology in just a few short years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"632\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Anthoula-Featured-when-17-19-years-old.webp\" alt=\"Happy New Year Anthoula 2025\" class=\"wp-image-69441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Anthoula-Featured-when-17-19-years-old.webp 632w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Anthoula-Featured-when-17-19-years-old-211x300.webp 211w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Anthoula-Featured-when-17-19-years-old-8x12.webp 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/sv\/aa-2024-12-26-anthoula-and-alexandra-open-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Happy New Year Anthoula.

This project, completed after 18 long years, overcame numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. It is an extraordinary example of how cooperation and perseverance can resolve even the most difficult conflicts. The debates between the Hellenic Government, archaeologists, engineers, and historians eventually led to a compromise, ensuring the preservation of our Hellenic legacy. Their commitment to protecting our history reflects the values of a civilized and democratic society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/60fvZuXW_Ew?si=Pu69WLJGE3wCWMII\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=60fvZuXW_Ew&amp;t=1s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thessaloniki Metro &#8211; From Antiquity to Modernity<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Thessaloniki Metro is now a unique global marvel, a living museum that showcases 2,500\u20133,000 years of Hellenic culture, heritage, and civilization. It is a reminder that you, Anthoula, and Alexandra, are part of this rich legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I shared in an earlier message, Anna has recently completed her studies in European and International Law and has begun her Master&#8217;s degree in Cybersecurity. Over the years, I\u2019ve had the privilege of mentoring Anna, offering guidance and support whenever she sought it. I wish I had been given the same opportunity to guide you, my precious Anthoula, and Alexandra. Sadly, this right was taken from me, a loss I feel with a lot of pain every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the very beginning, I paid attention to the smallest details about you Anthoula, and Alexandra. It didn\u2019t take long for me to realize that you were two remarkable girls\u2014brilliant, full of intellect, and brimming with potential. It was a potential I longed to nurture alongside you, to guide and support you in achieving your dreams, and to watch you flourish in the paths you chose. But life denied me that precious right, and the pain of that loss remains overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"302\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Portrait-of-Alexandra-Featured-when-17-19-years-old.webp\" alt=\"Portrait of Alexandra 2025\" class=\"wp-image-69445\" style=\"width:302px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Portrait-of-Alexandra-Featured-when-17-19-years-old.webp 302w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Portrait-of-Alexandra-Featured-when-17-19-years-old-211x300.webp 211w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Portrait-of-Alexandra-Featured-when-17-19-years-old-8x12.webp 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Portrait of Alexandra Featured when 17-19 years old<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"302\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Portrait-of-Anthoula-Featured-when-17-19-years-old.webp\" alt=\"Portrait of Anthoula 2025\" class=\"wp-image-69446\" style=\"width:302px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Portrait-of-Anthoula-Featured-when-17-19-years-old.webp 302w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Portrait-of-Anthoula-Featured-when-17-19-years-old-211x300.webp 211w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Portrait-of-Anthoula-Featured-when-17-19-years-old-8x12.webp 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Portrait of Anthoula Featured when 17-19 years old<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another matter I wish for you to know and understand, Anthoula and Alexandra, I did not leave my homeland, Hellas, because I desired to live in Sweden. In truth, I never liked Sweden. I left Hellas for your mother\u2019s sake, to give her the opportunity to grow and succeed in her life, as she claimed to have a degree in Psychology. Unfortunately, your mother lacked the ambition or goals to truly develop herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From the very beginning of our acquaintance, her agenda was already determined. The plan we made together\u2014to spend a few years in Sweden so she could gain experience as a psychologist, and then return to Hellas as a family\u2014was abandoned without discussion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has now been eight years since I have been separated from you, my dearest Anthoula and Alexandra. During this time, I have been working diligently to address and resolve the challenges and disorder left behind after your mother\u2019s decision to take you away from me. This process is nearing completion, and Papa will have to determine the next steps to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8BSgGcOrMu8?si=wpAzfGnDgaCoeq-h\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wish you both a year filled with joy, health, and strength my dearest daughters.
