A family has its own rituals and its own superstitions.
For me it was a lot harder to come to terms with the death of my grandfather than it was to come to terms with what's happened to the former Yugoslavia.
My grandfather and I were very close.
My family lived in Egypt from 1993 to 1996.
Wash the bones, bring the body, leave the heart behind.
I grew up in Cyprus and Egypt, these fantastic places I remember fondly.
