We all love Temel and feel that our family is complete now. The older three expressed concern about his diabetes, but they accepted him eventually. They sometimes help give him his insulin injections.
The first day was great. Temel eagerly went into our home. Cengiz appears to be the closest to him because they're only a year apart. They now share a room. Kemal took Temel to his soccer game and actually let him play. Later, me and Fikri showed Temel around the city, including where he would attend school in a few weeks.
On the second day, Esma, Sümeyya, and Latife took Temel shooping. They bought him new clothes, sports gear, and a parakeet. Later, me and the boys took him to the nearby swimming pool. He really enjoyed that. When we got home, we found that Züleyha had made Temel an embroidered pillow that said "welcome" in Turkish.
The third day was Friday. In the morning, I took Temel and Cengiz to the park. I brought my camera and took pictures. That afternoon, the whole family went to Friday prayers at the nearby mosque. That night, we watched TV together.
Now we have had Temel for a full three weeks. He is doing great. Fikri writes stories for him and Latife takes him shopping. Temel attends and participates in Kemal's soccer practices. He likes his new parakeet and takes good care of him. He even helps Cengiz walk.
Unfortunately, Temel's real parents have moved to far-off England, so we can't see them. Temel can call his parents, though. But his grandma lives on the other side of Izmir, so he can visit her.
As for the other kids, Sümeyya has a good boyfriend, Mehmet, who she wants to marry next year. Latife is getting ready for college. Fikri is writing a story for a writing contest. Kemal has a soccer game in a few days. Cengiz is getting out more, despite his limp.
I myself have talked about what it's like to have a kid with diabetes in the paper.
Thank you very much!
