Hello I'm Chloe Hadgemethieu and in this week's assignment here on the BBC World Service

I'm in Greece where financial hardship is forcing people to make some tough decisions. I'm acting like he's still alive. Okay I know if he's

dead but for me inside me he's still alive.

I'm smoking with him. I speak with him.

What do you tell your father when you come?

What kinds of things do you say to him?

I miss him.

I need him. I need him. I feel to know. I'm with Kostas, a tall, dark, wiry man with a sad smile. He and his sister Kaderina have come to the Saloniki's main cemetery to visit their father's grave.

I have come here many many times like crazy man because me with my father was a very good friend first of all

You're very close. Yes he gave me many advice and I will try to follow all that.

Today is a very emotional day for Kostas in Katerina because it's the very last time they'll be able to visit this grave.

We cannot afford it every year, every year.

You've known about today. You've known that today is the day that your father will be exhumed.

Yes.

Have you been worrying about it?

A lot.

Yes.

It's difficult.

It's really difficult.

I'm sorry.
