My Childhood Web

My mother and my father

They are the most influential people in my life. I am where I imagined to be thanks to their efforts. 

My mother, Melahat, is the most self-sacrificing person I've ever known.She is always there for her children. She raised us alone without the help of anybody in her family. She played games with us and she made us laugh. She has a special sense of humor and makes everybody happy. Whenever we come together, she feels my heart and my mind with peace. She was my parent at school. She went to the parents meetings and followed my development until I was in high school. She is a wonderful cook and she made me this healthy with her talented hands. She was the best example of a good mother and wife for me, therefore, she taught me how to be a good wife, a good friend and a good mother in my family. I am grateful to her for dedicating her family. 

My father, Abdullah, was always very kind to us. He never shouted or got angry with any of us. When I started primary school he went to Holland for his job and he lived there for 8 years.  He came to Turkey in summers and his luggage was full of toys, books, and crayons for us. He worked for us to have good education. When he was in Turkey in summers, we had a lot of time playing, reading books, going to different places. My father taught me to be a self-disciplined person and he is the reason for my having positive discipline in my classes. He loves reading books and he is a very intellectual and sophisticated man. The passion I have for reading is the best thing I got from my father. I am grateful to him for working very much and investing all his money to our education. I am also grateful to him for being a perfect father and keeping our family together with peace.

My sister-Mine

She is 5 years older than me and she was a very helpful and supportive sister. She is still my best friend. When I need her help she is always ready to help. Because my brother and I are twins, she was the assistant mother in our family. When my mother had something to do, she was the one who looked after me and my brother. Sometimes when her friends were outside playing games, she had to help my mother and looked after us. She had a lot of responsibilities despite her young age. Because she was the first child of the family, she was the subject and my family experienced both negative and positive things first with her. As a result, when we grew up we were lucky, because our parents were very experienced about how to raise their children perfectly. My sister taught us how to read and write. She taught us to be responsible. She always shared her clothes and all her accessories with me. Now she has a wonderful son who is 12 years old. She is an awesome mother and friend for her son. I am grateful to her fro her friendship and being our second mom.

My twin brother- Metin

We are twins, but he was like my little brother because he was shorter and thinner than me. Now he is not.:) It feels really special to be in the same small place together with someone else for 9 months. I like the idea of having been nourished by the same source, which is our mom:) and having breathed the same air. He was always very kind and full of love. He never teased me, but I was not as good a child as him. He taught me to help people when they needed me. He taught me how to put myself in other people's shoes. Now, when I feel sad, he feels that I am sad and vice versa. One more thing I remember about him is that when I was scared at night, he was the one who  felt that I was scared and hugged me until I fell into sleep. My brother and sister live together in a different city in Turkey and I really miss them very much.

THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING ME FEEL SPECIAL AND SHARING YOUR LOVE WITHOUT REMUNERATION:)
