What I Got From You



What does a girl, who was regularly beaten by his father during her childhood, do when her father needs her in his old days? Does she take revenge? Does she step aside? Or does she take care of the man who never took care of her? What did we inherit from those loved ones whose love we have never felt?

I, the undersigned, of sound mind and body, acquire a right of ownership from my father to the followings:

1 broken clavicle.
2 broken teeth.
64 slaps in the face.
High level skill of running away.
Parental counterexample.
0 carefree childhood
1 own child: my mother
1 invisibility cloak
Hiding my wounds

Wrath.
Fury.
Solitude.
Being able to forgive.
The knowledge that the world does not end so easily.

Being able to recover.
Being able to rise above anything.
Taking care of myself.
Courage.

Taking responsibility for family members.
817 shitty diapers.
The knowledge that the world does not end so easily.

The blog entry was written by the participants of Roma Heroes workshop.

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 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
