A Friday I wish I could freeze in time

Friday is my usual day off when I don’t take on any significant work, and I get to spend the whole day with my little one (we’re huge fans of these “bracketed” days!!). This time, we filled it with a movie and ice cream, and just as we were about to head home, we heard a band tuning up on the small stage in the park.

So we ended up sitting down for a Bekka and the Circus concert, which turned out to be way better than expected! Ruben was completely captivated by their music, which made me happy because I could relax too while he stayed still, but also amazed me that he appreciates such refined jazz.

This extraordinary boy is growing and developing day by day right beside me, and my stomach tightens whether I look back at the years behind us or forward to the years ahead. I feel happy, scared, and deeply moved all at once, grateful to be the safety net during his growing up.

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!
