i stopped checking messages because i didn't want to hear the news without my parents. i lay in bed last night, and i thought, "what if he's already gone?"
and, as it turned out, he was.
"ninety-seven is a ripe old age" but you always hope for more time, more opportunities to be together.
it's weird to hear other people talk about him, to read news coverage that describes him as a national figure, a party leader, a signatory on an important letter... he's just papaşa.

I'm sorry for your loss, and for the sense of unreality that comes when someone is really gone.
So sorry for your loss Mara. He sounds like a really interesting man. Were you close?
