Dear Ms. Aylin, a mother of two boys, has devoted her life to her children. We are sure you will read this delightful interview in one breath with the colorful moments of her loving sons Hasan Ali and Ahmet Aslan.
What kind of feeling is motherhood?
I don’t know how to put such a feeling into words. Two hearts beating outside your body, two eyes looking at you, and every emotion a human can feel—peace, happiness, love, affection, compassion, fear, concern, excitement. Feeling the most beautiful scent in the world. When they cry, your heart aches; when they smile, you feel peace; when they eat, you feel full. When they hug you, you become the strongest person in the world. It is a challenging yet the most beautiful blessing in life where patience, compassion, strength, and energy are fully used. May everyone who wishes experience it.
What would be the best gift you could receive on Mother’s Day?
The existence of my children is already the greatest gift for me. Seeing them healthy and happy, a hug, a kiss—these are the greatest gifts for any mother. I wish for many happy memories together. Being part of this Mother’s Day project with my children, thanks to the İrenbe family who supported us through difficult times, will always be one of our most beautiful memories.
What are your hopes and dreams for your children?
First of all, I wish them to be healthy, happy, and peaceful. I want them to love themselves, to live their childhood fully, to be well educated, to follow their dreams, and to build happy lives. I want them to value life and people. I want them to support each other as siblings. Life is short; I want them to live happily and I wish to witness all of it.
What changed in your life after becoming a mother?
Everything. I became a completely different person. My responsibilities, compassion, lifestyle, and awareness changed. I learned patience, strength, and how to handle multiple tasks. My children’s happiness became my priority. Every day is a new experience—like a mix of adventure, comedy, and emotion.
How did you meet İrenbe?
We are three sisters, and all of us are patients of Dr. Refik Keleş. We have known him for over 20 years. He is like a family member to us. His support, especially during difficult times, has been invaluable. The warmth, sincerity, and care we received from the İrenbe family have always made us feel special. We are truly grateful.
