"HE WOULD NEVER LIE"



Nehir Zeyrek used the following expressions in her post: "Do you know what kind of person my father was? He was honest. Very honest. Despite being in politics, he would never lie. He was hardworking. He would leave for work at eight in the morning and return at two in the night. Sometimes my mother and I would get upset: 'We never see you,' we would say. He would always give the same answer: 'Just wait one more month, I will set everything right.' But those 'one months' never ended.

"HE WOULD FEEL ASHAMED WHEN HE COULDN'T SPEND TIME WITH US"



He loved Manisa very much. He embraced every elder, every child, every animal. He was full of life. He loved going to the sea, exercising, and learning new languages. But above all, he was a very good father. He would feel ashamed when he couldn't spend time with us. He wanted to go to concerts together, discover new cities, and sometimes just cuddle sleepily before going to work in the morning.

"HE ALWAYS TOLD ME: 'IF YOUR FATHER IS HERE, THERE'S NO PROBLEM. BUT I NO LONGER HAVE A FATHER"



He always told me: 'If your father is here, there's no problem.' But I no longer have a father. Now I am in my room. I am with the memories I have left, with my siblings and my mother. We are trying to overcome the shock of this sudden death and heal the wounds inside us.

"WE MUST RECOVER SO THAT WE CAN HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE"



We will recover. We must recover so that we can hold him accountable. My dear father, if you can see me. You were the person I loved the most in this world. You still are.

I will strive every day to be a worthy child for you. As you wished, I will take that exam next week and become an architect. I will honor your name in every place I can, in the best way possible. I love you very much. Everything.
