Celebrating the memories we've created together
I didn't know that on April 1st, I was messaging someone who would hold such a special place in my life. It turned out that day was the first step of a journey I would always say 'I'm so glad' about. April 1st, 2025 is the birthday of our friendship. Our friendship is also an Aries like you 😊
At home in the evening, while watching a game show again, a message came from WhatsApp 😂 I was so happy when I saw your message. This was the beginning of our daily regular messaging. Thank you for trusting me and entering my life.
The first photo you sent me was a screenshot of your LinkedIn profile. Perhaps it was opening a LinkedIn account that started our friendship. On April 14th, you shared the songs you liked with me, and the first song you shared with me was TVORCHI - Falling. I sent one of my favorite songs: Şenay - Hayat Bayram Olsa.
When we first started talking, my dear company Arvento took us on a boat trip. I sent my first photo during that boat trip. And of course, as always, it was a photo I took in front of a mirror 😁 Your reaction to my photo was just "Good room".
When we first started talking, I was watching the series 11.22.63. When I mentioned that I liked the show and that it only had 8 episodes, you decided to watch it too. Our effort to diversify our conversations was really beautiful. I also started watching your favorite series Ozark, but unfortunately I couldn't continue after the 2nd season 😁 But I started to love your favorite character from Ozark too 😊
That first photo you sent me is still in my mind like it was yesterday. You had sent your own photo right after I asked if you had a boyfriend. When I said 'You look so beautiful', you sweetly reproached me 😁 'You could have said beautiful scenery or beautiful river' you said 😊 But deep down I knew. What I saw in that frame wasn't just a scenery, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
It's hard to find a friend who would say that you might have gotten more burned because of the chlorine in the pool 😂 Even when I said there's no sea in Ankara, you had trouble believing me, and I couldn't even be sure myself. Maybe there's a sea in Ankara that I don't know about 😁
When I first saw that photo of you holding Yarik's hands and when you told me you were married, I was truly shocked. Because for a mother, you look incredibly fit and energetic. I've said this before but I'll never hesitate to say it again and again: You are truly an amazing mother. Yarik is so lucky to have such a loving, strong and special mother like you 😊
I started the most beautiful and enjoyable video call of my life by saying 'Hello Hanna.' At that moment, I couldn't even imagine that I could chat with someone for hours speaking completely in English. But when talking with you, I really don't notice how time passes. Every time I see you, it warms my heart and makes me happy. I'm so glad we gathered our courage and made that first video call. May your smile always be on your face, because that smile beautifies worlds. 😊
We had many video calls and they were all so much fun. I admit we had some video calls where we were emotional or sad, but we ended them all beautifully. I learned from you that June, July and August are also summer months in your country 😂 It was a fun and funny memory. I feel happy every time I see you, my face lights up every time I see you. I hope we have many more video calls together.
I was there in your life when you lost one of your earphones too 😄 The effort you put into finding it in the garden was really sweet. Actually, I really believed you would find your earphone, but when you couldn't, I was as sad as you were. I still remember all those things you told me over four months. I always wanted to join those enjoyable hookah parties you had with Tanya, but the 2082 kilometers between us made it impossible. Still, I haven't given up hope. Maybe one day you'll have a 'soda party' and this time I can be there. You know, I don't drink anything other than soda anyway 😂🥤
When we hear the words 'red skirt' and 'broken heater', probably the same smile will appear on both of our faces 😅 Maybe without realizing it, we wrote a small but very special story together that will be remembered even years later. I will always remember this moment with a smile. I won't go into too much detail because we both know every detail of this story very well 😂
Remember that product I ordered for about 70 dollars? 😂 I got a message that my package was delivered while I was at work. But I can't describe how excited I was, I was eager to get home as soon as possible. I left work and went home quickly. When I saw my package at the door, I already realized there was something wrong. Still, I excitedly took it out of the box and after doing all the necessary procedures, despite struggling a bit, I couldn't get the result I expected 😏 I had literally thrown my 70 dollars in the trash. I may have never laughed as much as I did when I video called you that day. It's one of our most beautiful memories and I had to include this. Of course, I also had to struggle a bit to get rid of it, but finally I got rid of it and felt relieved 😁
I remember those days when you constantly asked me for photos and my inability to take photos properly 😅 In fact, instead of that frame you wanted while I was washing the car, my struggle to get you a completely different photo 😂 Your regular morning coffees, my buying you coffee from 2082 km away. And perhaps the funniest, the punishments I got for saying something nice to you 😄 The limited nature of our daily nice words quota still makes me smile 😊 Those little technology wars we had while trying to transfer photos from your phone to the computer, those special moments when I learned that you don't like flower and chocolate gifts, and our car conversations. When all these memories come together, I realize that every moment I spent with you had a separate value. They all found their place in me, they all make me smile. Nothing experienced with you was ordinary, they all took their place in my heart.
Our competition on Duolingo started when you included me in the family membership. Thank you for extending a helping hand in my English learning 😂 I don't know, maybe you thought I would be an easy opponent at first, but I think I showed that I'm not an easy opponent. Thanks to you, I'm learning new words and improving my English. It's also nice that we have a fun competition between us, but you know it's very difficult to catch me 😁
Even though we were physically very far apart, being able to watch the same movie at the same time was really beautiful. Yes, the movie was a bit sad because it revealed some harsh truths. But the fact that it was the first movie I watched with you makes it very special and meaningful for me. I will always remember this moment not just as a movie, but as a small but precious part of our friendship.
I have a friend who can spot long nails from 1 km away 😁 I know that in every photo I send, you look at my nails first 😂 Because of this, I now trim my nails regularly. Thanks to you, I've gained another beautiful habit. I'm so happy you're in my life. You know I didn't say this just because I trim my nails regularly, right? 😊
Those countless peaceful hours lying on my sofa, looking at the ceiling, thinking of you and our conversations. Some of my most treasured quiet moments were filled with thoughts of our friendship.
I haven't forgotten the videos of those brothers who use their tongues very well that you sent me 😂 I laughed so much when I watched the videos. You said these people were my rivals. The way they used their tongues was so funny and entertaining. Even though they're very good, I know I won't give up first place to anyone in this matter 😏
When I saw you in your wedding dress, I felt both a bittersweet feeling in my heart and a sparkle in my eyes. I have never seen a bride as beautiful as you before. You looked like an angel in your wedding dress. I had said before that Yarik is lucky. Your husband is also very lucky to have a wife like you. I think you are both a wonderful mother and a wonderful wife.
I added this here because I want this to remain as our last argument. You always tried to protect our friendship. Even though I recently said we shouldn't talk anymore, I truly never wanted our friendship to end. I said those things because I thought you no longer wanted to talk to me. After seeing that you were trying to fix things, I really understood that I have a valuable place in your heart. Thank you, if our friendship is still continuing, it's thanks to you. Your friendship is very valuable to me and I will really be more careful to protect our friendship from now on. I'm so glad you're my friend 🤗
I didn't even know such a day existed before you told me. I think it's beautiful that we have a day to celebrate 🥳 We started talking regularly on May 13th and since then we've been in communication with each other every day. I've gotten so used to you that you now have a place in me as important as breathing. Sometimes you were my niece, sometimes my sister, sometimes my English teacher, but you were always my best friend. Happy Friendship Day 🎈 See you on Friendship Day 2026 👋🏻😂 I know I'm difficult to deal with, but I think it's very easy to achieve this with you 😉 18:39 Bye bye my dear friend 👋🏻😊
You might not have expected me to take off my shirt and have a video call with you, but I think I surprised you a little 🤭 This conversation added a whole different flavor to everything for us. It was really so much fun. Time passed with laughter, sweet words, and the sparkle in eyes. Again, I didn't realize how time passed. Every video call I have with you is special for me, but this one was a little warmer, a little closer, a little more 'us' 😊 I don't know when you'll read these lines, but I left a little note here and I won't tell you that I added this message here. I hope this message leaves at least a small smile on your face 😇
We had a previous memory about Duolingo, but I thought I must add this memory of ours that shows how determined you are. On a day when I got a high score, I said 'You can't beat me,' because Ira was with you and you didn't have much time. So I was almost sure I would beat you 😏 But then you really surprised me by sending that photo, an expression formed on my face just like this emoji 😳😂 And of course, as I promised, I had to prepare a congratulations message for you. You already know how much I love writing messages to you, so writing the congratulations message was a separate pleasure for me. I want to congratulate you once more from here. You really impress me with your determination. Congratulations my dear friend 🥳
But do you know what was truly beautiful? What made that day special was feeling that sweet closeness with you again. This feeling is higher than Duolingo scores, much higher 🥹 You are the person I feel closest to. And I want to pass every level with you. Not just in apps, but in life too. I'm so glad you're in my life.
I hope I don't get fined $25 for each beautiful word 😂

Thank you for making time for me and for your wonderful friendship. Thank you for valuing me. Thank you for adding color to my life. Thank you so much for everything.
