As some of you may know, we were introduced to each other by my sister, when I was visiting Istanbul in 1989. In our first date, I was captivated by her intelligence, wisdom and her warmth. On that day, I knew that my single life has come to an end, and to make sure that I never forget our anniversary, we got married on July 4th, Independence day, that year. We were both blessed with unlimited capacity to give love to our daughter Talar, and son Maximilian and receive it back in return, soothing our sorrows with Talar. I will always cherish the time we were given, will always love her, and will always remember her. We are honored by all the calls and the messages received. Hacik (Beco) Gazeroglu
