A cellist, a flutist, and World Music Day!

2025.06.04. /

World Music Day moved both of us deeply—there couldn’t have been a more fitting way to start October! And this cellist boy even convinced me to make music together, so I had to dust off my flute that’s been resting for years to play a few notes alongside him. I’m far from my best form, unfortunately, but the flutist inside me is waking up, and once she stretches her limbs, real jam sessions await us!

Cello lessons and preparing for them during the most beautiful autumn days are a true treat in the afternoons. And then a shared evening concert (a real nighttime outing with my son— it hit me hard when I realized it) for two musicians, who are tied together by music with yet another ribbon, alongside the many experiences we’ve been collecting since his baby days.

I can’t even express how proud I am!

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
