I was lucky enough to be in the bridal suite to witness Ahmet’s first viewing of his daughter, Erin, in her wedding dress before she walked down the aisle. I have never forgotten the look of pride and love that he displayed for her and I knew that I was privileged to be witnessing something intrinsically beautiful in those moments. Erin’s sister Mine was also in the room and there was a moment of beautiful connection with all of them. Later in the evening, I saw the same adoration again during Ahmet and Erin’s Father and Daughter dance. It was very touching as it showed his deep love and pride for his children. It imprinted on me and I have carried those memories with me until today.
I have been trying to source photos from these precious moments and will send if I am able to find them.
My sincerest condolences again and much love.
