Happy Anniversary

May 20, 2020 by A. Cemal Ekin
Jan, Cemal wedding day May 20, 1971. Happy anniversary

Celebrate life together, married for 49 years. Happy anniversary, Jan, my dearest. We have known each other for over half a century and married for almost as long.

You left Rhode Island in 1971 with your wedding gown in a bag, slung on your shoulder and came to be with me in Adana, Turkey. Thank you for taking that risk and being with me for all these years.

What a wonderful world!

Remember the day.

Love, always!

    Cemal Hocam, Jan, these photos are absolutely stunning! There is no way Tuba and I could have ever imagined either of you the way you were then. We finally saw the guy from Adana and the girl from Rhode Island. Love is all around you and everywhere, both in these pictures and ever since. We are so blessed to have witnessed it with you and in you. May we all have the fortune to be part of this beauty and love for many more years to come. Congratulations!
