Halloween 2016

I like to celebrate every holiday properly, but Halloween holds a special place on our festive list: that’s when we celebrate my honey-haired child’s fourth birthday!!! When he was little, just six months old, Ruben pulled himself up on his feet in the crib (I was gasping for air, worried about his joints, knees, and spine… but he just stood there laughing, and that moment is forever etched in my memory). And today, he’s spelling out English words from a storybook for mommy.

It’s an incredible, wonderful, and incomparable feeling when I think about the 4.5 years I’ve lived since he came into our world. Incredible and wonderful, breathtaking—just like him.

And since we’re celebrating such an extraordinary thing as Ru, and life threw us a curveball by having his fourth birthday fall on Halloween… we just can’t miss the chance to make the most of it!

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!
