Next Chapter

The park and the electric car

Yesterday, I promised Rú that after his check-up today, we’d go for a drive to a sunny spot where we could spend a few peaceful hours, and I’d teach him how to drive the supercar with a remote control. But it didn’t take more than a few minutes before we started arguing about who gets to play when. Since all the arguments were against me, we decided to take a long walk in the park, where I could keep myself busy with something other than the remote-controlled car.

We watched the schoolkids having their outdoor lessons, visited the Palóc Museum, and checked out the recently restored lion monument (which definitely needed it — it’s been standing there as long as I can remember. When I was Rú’s age, I used to ride on its back and play courage-testing games with my brother). We even made friends with a lady who was absolutely enchanted by my son. 🙂

It turned out to be a truly forget-the-tonsils kind of morning!

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!
