Wedding Dress

Neriman wore this engagement dress in 1973…

Neriman was born as the first child of Alime and Mecit Yavuz couple…

Münevver Hanım and Şamil Ağa welcomed the fact that their first grandchild was a girl, as they had 8 daughters and a son. Their biggest fear was that they didn’t have grandchildren. They found it so difficult for themselves that the son…

Münevver Hanım couldn’t believe it when her neighbors had a son, and she was a little jealous;

Did you see? How easy hands give birth to male servants!!! he was both angry and said to himself. When Neriman was born as the first grandchild to a family of 8 girls and boys, her fears were naturally activated. That’s why they welcomed Neriman with a bittersweet joy…

When Neriman was born, her father, Mecit, was in the military, and they informed her father in 1953 that she had a daughter. Letters would reach their owners late at that time, sometimes even months later.

The years of absence are the years when the family cultivates the land of others because their own land is insufficient. It is necessary to work hard, the child does not matter, everyone has to hold on to a job.

Even at a young age, Neriman had work to do, lambs and calves would be taken to the pasture, water would be carried from the fountain, and mother and grandmother would be helped at home.

Neriman had a short stature and a huge heart… Her mother, Alime Hanım, always said;

He always said that my baby was short enough to carry water from the fountain with invention…

Years later, the first grandson Neriman came to the family when he was 6 years old.

When Kenan was born, his grandmother Münevver could not believe it, the neighbors hid that he had a grandson…

When Neriman finished primary school, she cried, whined and persuaded her family to continue her education. Her grandfather had her enrolled in a boarding health vocational school in Bingöl. Neriman, who studied, became a nurse..

When his first assignment was in Erzincan, he took his brothers Kenan and Öznur with him to teach. As we said, a short stature, but a big heart…

From his first salary to his last, he never spent it on himself, he always shared the money he earned. He got married, became a bride to Aydın, and took his brother with him again.

She became the mother of two sons, Alper and Cihangir….

For years, she was a nurse during the day and the representative of a cookware company in the evenings, selling pots from door to door, earning money, educating her children, and supporting her family.

It was his biggest dream to go to pilgrimage, he waited in line for 6 years, when it was the 7th year, he went to pilgrimage, when he returned, he fell ill in 2018 and his mercy was granted.

She was an Anatolian woman… she didn’t want to live without sharing any beauty with others… she had loving words, a warm hug, a sweet tongue of honey…

He always gave, he never took…….

He left this world with a great longing behind him…

His name is Neriman…

His grandfather Shamil, his grandmother Münevver..

His father is Mecit, his mother is Alime.

She is my sister…

I am Kenan Yavuz, the founder of this museum. I didn’t know how to explain my sister…

Every door will be opened, every door will be closed, longings will meet…

I hope the owner of eternity will bring us together on the day of vuslat…
