Confession on sisterly love

Dear Marianna, my beloved sister!

Finally, I made up my mind to write you a letter, it’s been three weeks since I moved to Budapest and started university.

The village girl has become a city lady, as you’d say.

I was longing to leave the little village where even the cock crow annoyed me… today, I miss that too.

Here, I wake up to the noise of buzzing buses each and every morning, now you must be laughing at me, as I laughed at you when you chose simple life.

I have a confession to make: I can’t even turn on the gas without you, and I’m starting to value what I had taken for granted before. You run the house, cook, wash, clean, raise your daughter and take care of mother. I’m proud of you, that you are so capable, because you’ve known since the age of 18 what it is like to be a mother and a wife, although you were hardly a grown-up yourself, and you do all this selflessly, for our family. And why?

The answer is simple: because this is what makes you happy: home, family, the small village and the cock crow.

When I moved to the city I thought that all my problems would be resolved, but this is not what happened. I miss the village, the family and most of all your love. Thank you for being there for me!

Hugs and kisses,

Réka

We Are Unstoppable

What does family, parents and siblings mean to us? What do we do for our family members and what does the family do for us? How can we help each other in life? My story is about my younger brother, I consider him a hero in my life. Gábor is a simple man with a huge heart who is very honest and enduring. His endurance in work makes him a real hero. He works 16 hours five days a week as a cook; he gets up every morning and goes to work because that’s his job. He was 18 when he got a great opportunity to work abroad as a chef, naturally making much more money than here, at home. 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
