Eteoklis Pavlou: 'I Told My Daughter “Dad is Disabled but It’s Okay, I Have a Prosthetic Leg”'

Presenter Eteoklis Pavlou spoke about the serious accident he had 13 years ago, in which he lost his right leg. He described how he explained to his daughter, Melita, what happened, avoiding the harsh details of the shooting at a nightclub. He told her that “some bad people shot Dad” and that he now has a “prosthetic leg” that makes him happy, because it allows him to do things with her. Pavlou emphasized that his daughter doesn't mind that he is disabled, saying characteristically “I have my dad”. Pavlou's story is a moving testimony to acceptance and the power of family.
