Metin and Ayse

It was so good to see you both the other day and meet your daughter.  I am glad I connected with you prior to you leaving.

I can only imagine the feelings, loss and pain you are going through right now.  I could see the grief and pain on your faces and in sharing the photos and memories of Asli with me.  There is not much to say that can change the way you feel and heal your broken hearts.  I do know one thing — even without not having had the pleasure of meeting Asli — she was loved and is honored by the both of you.  Her time here on earth was a blessing to you both and your entire family.  I am certain Asli was a blessed young lady with more love and dedication than can be had in 10 lifetimes.

I will pray that both of you are healed more and more each day and that Asli will never be far from your heart but that time will make all of this much easier.  Please know that I am thinking of you both and your family always.  I will share the photos and mug of Asli with my family and I am certain they will pray for you as well.

Goodbye for now and I hope you had a safe flight home.
