"I WILL MISS 'MY DAUGHTER' THE MOST" 

 Expressing her longing and love for her father, Ayşe Nazlı included these touching words in her post:

"My dear father, in these last few days, I have heard so many beautiful stories and memories about you... Everyone who knew you has a memory they tell with a smile on their face. We laughed a lot, spent wonderful times together; sometimes we shared our troubles for hours, sometimes we just sat silently side by side. Now, I will miss your voice, your sincere laughter, and the way you called me 'My daughter.' I feel your absence more deeply every day, but I know the bond of love between us will never break. You will always live in my heart, in my memories, and in the most special place of my life. I am so glad you were my father, I love you so much."
