Canberk
Lucky us Canberk is acting like a teenager. Just hard to get used to it. We never acted like this! Hey Colleen!
2nd in Istanbul
Efe's handball team has won the 2 place position in the Istanbul handball league. March 4th they'll go on a road trip to vie for the right to compete for Turkey's championship. Good luck to them and him. Levent will go and watch the games and represent the family.
Meeting my baby brother.
Hopefully if all goes as planned I'll pop over to London for a day( OH! don't I sound like a jet setter) to see Pam and Phelan. Don't worry, just using one of my 2008 free tickets up.We aren't that rich just I'm lucky to have my hubby.

Handball
This year Efe is playing on his school's handball team. The team was 3rd in Turkey last year and going for first this year. Lucky me I get to be a handball mum! Check him out in the video

We all watched our dad , father-in-law , husband and grandfather loose the struggle with brain cancer. Those who knew him, knew him as a mountain of a man who overcame all obstacles. Unfortunately, he encountered a glioblastoma, the most aggressive brain tumour which is also uncurable.
We spent the last 5 months of his life in Istanbul , while he and mum lived with us and we tried to extend his life with aggressive radiation therapy and chemotherapy. We were given 3 months but he managed 5.5. We all cried together, laughed and now grieve. But life goes on.....Enjoy your family and friends because you can only leave a legacy in your children and in peoples' memories.
