I've always worried my mother. ” Işık adds in his memoirs, "Hayatım", which he started writing in the second half of the 1970s and published as a serial after his death.
When he was six years old; “… I remember very little about him now. But most of all its smell… Some nights, coming to me and hugging me, sleeping together. Once he took him fishing, and on his way back he climbed the stairs. That's all ... HafızamI always pushed for him. In order to remember more, not to forget what I remember… ”Işık, who lost his father, who he remembered by saying, begins to complete the first few years of his education in Izmir, and most of it with his eldest brother Mithat Özer, who settled in Istanbul for university education years ago.
