"DAD, ALL THE COLOR OF LIFE IS GONE"



"Whenever I wrote something, I would look for him to read it. I wrote a letter to him last week, and I want to read it to you. Dad, all the color of life is gone, the life I knew is over. A new life is beginning. It is filled with frightening uncertainty. Since I can remember, I have been afraid of losing you. This was my only weakness, my stomach ache. I used to say this man only makes me suffer by dying. Your inability to fit into homes, your inability to hurt anyone, your greater fear of breaking hearts.

"I WOULD CALL YOU BECAUSE MY CAT DIED"



My heart is broken, dad, I fell in love, I couldn't sleep, I would call you because my cat died. I was very fulfilled in your fatherhood. I could never get enough of your friendship. I am angry that you didn't take care of yourself."

LAST FAREWELL FROM HIS BROTHER



His brother Ali Fuat Önder, in his speech at the ceremony, said: "This country's blood and pain need to stop, I have no property or wealth, I want to leave a livable country for Ceren," he said. This was also the reason he entered politics. I have endless hope that this will come to fruition. Lastly, I want to say one more thing; if he were here, he would say 'greetings to those who love and those who curse.'
