Kadir Karabulut, who made headlines with his tearful farewell at the coffin of his friend Ahmet Esat Angi (27), a dialysis patient who lost his life due to heart failure in Sivas, spoke to DHA. Visiting his friend's grave, Karabulut said, “We never separated. We had been together since first grade. My brother was a very beautiful person. He was such a beautiful person that he was the second son of our family.”
HIS FAREWELL AT THE COFFIN HAD MADE HEADLINES
The death of Ahmet Esat Angi, who had been receiving dialysis treatment in the city for some time and lost his life as a result of heart failure, plunged his family and relatives into mourning. A funeral was held in the city two days ago for Angi, who lost his life at a young age. Emotional moments were experienced before the funeral prayer while forgiveness was being sought. Ahmet Esat Angi's childhood friend of 20 years, Kadir Karabulut, got permission from the imam and came to the head of the coffin. Bidding farewell to his friend in tears, Karabulut said, “He was my friend of 20 years. In all those days, I never saw a single wrong from him, nor did I ever hear a single bad word from him. He was such a good friend. He was my entire childhood, all my memories. They tell me, ‘Don't be sad.’ How can I not be sad? I fully forgive you for all my rights, my brother.” Ahmet Esat Angi's body was buried accompanied by tears and prayers after the funeral prayer. The farewell video of Karabulut's speech at the coffin, shared on social media platforms, was watched by many people and received thousands of comments.
HE HUGGED THE GRAVE AND CRIED
Kadir Karabulut, a graduate of Kütahya Dumlupınar University's Department of Interior Architecture, visited his friend's grave and once again could not hold back his tears. People around consoled Karabulut, who cried while hugging his friend's grave. Saying that he had lost not a friend but a brother, Kadir Karabulut said, “It felt like the pain of losing a sibling. We never separated. We had been together since first grade. My brother was a very beautiful person. Whenever I was in trouble, he would come to me. He was such a beautiful person that he was the second son of our family. We ate together, we drank together. I love him very much. He is in my every moment. When I was in university and had no money, he would ask for my IBAN and send me money. May God be pleased with everyone in Turkey who shared our pain. May those who watch the video, whoever comes to their mind when they watch it, also have their place in paradise. May my Lord bring us all together in His paradise; them with those they love, and me with my brother. May God be pleased with everyone. He was such a good person that people from all over Turkey, people with whom we did not spend even a second of our lives, prayed for my brother. Our friendship spread all over Turkey. Those who have close friends like this should hug each other after watching this video. I could not see my friend recently. He was getting very tired. He suffered a lot in the hospital. In the last days, he too had grown weary. His heart could not take it. He went to dialysis for the last time, and he never came back.”
CALL FOR ORGAN DONATION
Noting that his friend had gone through very difficult days due to kidney failure, Karabulut invited everyone to be sensitive about organ transplantation and donation.
