On the way to school Ilayda said to me: "Last night I dreamed that Big Okan saw his dad. We were in the hotel and we went to the swimming pool and his dad was in the pool waiting for him. Big Okan jumped in the pool and swam to his dad. Sedat Amca was really happy because Big Okan can swim good now. Then I got in the pool and showed Sedat Amca that I can do a handstand in the water and swim underwater. Sedat Amca kissed me and we played all day with him."
I was moved to tears, since our families spent so many wonderfully happy hours swimming. Every Sunday for over a year we were in the pool together laughing, squealing and marvelling at our kids' progress and love of water. I said to Ilayda, "What else did you see in your dream, honey?"
"Big Okan was really happy. Sedat Amca kissed me again and then I woke up on my pillow. I miss him. I wish we could go swimming again with him."
Sedat, we miss you. We will always miss you. I pray we will continue to see you in our dreams and that you will continue to inspire our kids.
