I carry three versions of “me”…

A Scottish one, a New Zealand one, and a Cypriot one. The Cypriot version has always been the hardest to grasp - we left here when I was five - so every visit is about piecing that part of me back together.

These are my great-grandparents. They raised six sons and a daughter and went on to build one of the most well-known families in this area. When I mention my mother’s maiden name, doors open, smiles appear, and the hospitality is overwhelming ❤️
