My story is about Kaya Dikmenli. He was my miracle baby, the doctors said I was unable to have children. He came into my life on July 19th, 1995.
There are no accurate adjectives to describe how fiercely he loved and how much he was loved.
He was a beautiful, a happy baby who grew into an amazing young man. He was always eager to please everyone and his smile and laughter lit up any room he was in. Those who truly knew him, knew what a kind soul he was, how big his heart was and how loyal he was to the people he loved.
He loved his dog Harley, music, movies, sports, mostly the Cubs and the Blackhawks, and he loved his family above everything.
I am a single mother who put my own life aside to guide him, to nurture him and to take care of him. He was my entire life.
My son was diagnosed with severe epilepsy in 2013 and needed seizure meds to control his episodes. Those medications led to renal failure and he was hospitalized twice because of it. He has suffered so much over the past three years, eventhough he put on a brave face..I know this scared him. He also suffered emotionally and had a hard time coping with his illness.
Tragically, on the morning of December 24th, he passed away. My life as I knew was over. He was everything good in this world. We don't know the cause of his death as an autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, December 27th.
My life makes no sense without him. I willingly gave up my dreams so that I could focus on sending him on the right path. He did not deserve to be taken from me so soon. He had so many plans and they will never come true now.
I got laid off in November, which puts a tremendous amount of additional stress when I am making the most difficult decisions of my life, his final arrangements. His life was far from perfect, but I would like nothing more than to give him a proper and final good bye.
I am not asking for charity, but for a chance to bury my only child with dignity. In lieu of flowers, my family is hoping for the kind donations to help put my Kaya to rest properly. Believe me, anyone who knows me, knows how difficult it is for me to even ask anyone for help. But I am alone now.
Thank you all.
