Wife with boys

Life can be lived in many ways, but I think most of it comes down to who you share it with.
And when, in the most unexpected season, you suddenly find the right person in someone you’ve known for more than 10 years – someone you always only ever talked to as a friend – that’s when you truly realise he’d been right under your nose all along, it just hadn’t lined up in the stars yet for your lives to move in the same direction – until a certain point. 🙂

And if this man respects you, supports you, makes sacrifices for you, and at the same time has fire, playfulness and a colossal will to gently lure you onto the path leading into a shared future, that becomes something that defines you for good.

So much so that when I had long given up on having a bigger family, and the only self‑image I had left was that of a successful single mom with a strong career, who had just bought a property in Vác and changed schools for her son and firmly ruled out any other way of life, I suddenly found myself in the suburbs of a beautiful world city, as a wife and mother, reshaping my possibilities – and in the end, this is what my everyday life looks like now:

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. Later, I took on a new role at the Department of Health within the Ministry of Interior, continuing my journey in the healthcare field from a different perspective. Life has also grown in beautiful new ways: a wonderful partner has brought fresh energy and warmth into what was once just me and Rú—now we’re a family of three. 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!
