Have you ever heard about the Boogie Man?



Most often, I am the one to take my little girl to the kindergarten. The doorman tells the same joke every morning when he sees us: "Where are you running pretty girl, where are you running, the Gypsies will get you and they'll put you in a bag!” 
What can the Roma father do or say if in the evenings, his daughter is afraid of the Gypsy taking her away in a bag? What can we do if our children are scared by other people with the false and stereotypical image of their own community's members? What would you do or say if the doorman at the kindergarten planted fear in the soul of your child? Would you raise your voice? And if you did, would your child be present? What would you do if she were present and listened to how others keeps telling mystic hogwash about your community, and thus about you? I hope you will not have to face these dilemmas.

Alex Fifea actor, in the play "You didn't see anything" shares a personal confession with us.

Had he accepted it, his life would have changed radically, but he didn’t want to leave me and our mom alone. It is just the three of us and we would never leave each other. He has superhuman strength. He moved in with Mom who had to be cared for because of her health, but we never felt that is a burden; we are one and everyone does their bit without complaint – Gábor works, Mom takes care of the household, I s

The Perfect Grandma

We all need role models, heroes in our life whose acts and qualities serve as examples. Sometimes it takes time to realize that real heroes are all around us. Find your own hero! Oh, my darling granny. She loved us, her family, she did whatever she could for us. She was a vibrant ball of energy. She rushed from one grandchild to the other whole day long. She helped with household chores, made jam, cooked our favorite granny-cakes like no one else. She often told us about our badass grandpa and she kept loving, loving and loving. Words cannot express what she means to me even today. No doubt she had a huge impact both on my mother and me. We got the love and solidarity of the family from her. She lived her life with sacrifices and an everlasting smile on her face, she lived for us and for our happiness. We learned only after her death that besides everyday care, she had a secret that she never told anyone. A stray paper found after her death revealed this secret. My grandm
