Adult Life
By 1922 Kayhan was living in Istanbul, making routine trips to the cities of Ankara and Malatya. In 1936 he relocated to Ankara, where he met Hajar, whom he would marry on March 25, 1937. His longtime master Ahmet Efendi died in 1944. Musa Kâzim Ağel, who had the same Master as Ahmet Kaya, continued to teach until his own death in 1967. After this, it was Ahmet Kayhan’s turn. He also gained the title "Dede", which actually means "Grandpa" and is appended to the name as an expression of loving respect as is customary towards elder relatives.
Ahmet Kayhan spent the rest of his life in Ankara, teaching and enlightening those around him and the many disciples that came to visit him from the 1960s on.

Famous quotes related to adult life:
“Fashions change, and with the new psychoanalytical perspective of the postwar period [WWII], child rearing became enshrined as the special responsibility of mothers ... any shortcoming in adult life was now seen as rooted in the failure of mothering during childhood.”
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
