Levent

Before I forget, Rabbit, Rabbit.

I brought my camera home to take pictures of my nephews, family and friends. I also promised a friend, I'd take pictures of Turkey for him. To make sure I couldn't fulfill any of my promises, my camera broke. On top of that, the few pictures I did take were taken with the lowest quality and came out quite shitty. After I sent my camera to Kodak (who, btw, has the greatest customer service ever!) I got it back just this week. As I looked through the pictures yesterday, I was pleased to find this little gem.

my best friend Levent and I walked down the Bosphorus eating the best ice cream in the world.

Levent took this picture of both of us. I remember that day clearly. We met to take a short walk and it was the day after my Laser operation, which is why I'm wearing sunglasses. We got ice cream from Gunes (which means 'sun') which is the best ice cream I've ever had. And we walked down the seaside, taking pictures of the bridges and the sailboats by the sea. The sun was setting as we chatted about our lives. He just became a doctor and started working at a hospital and I had major changes in my life since we last saw each other, so we had a lot of catching up to do. Levent was my first boyfriend and he's the only ex I'm actually on speaking terms with (long story) and we've known each other for over 12 years. Actually we've been best friends for that long. There's something to be said for the few people who've meant so much to you for such a long time.

Love you, Levent, and I miss you!

Before?
