My dear,
It’s Christmas Eve. For me, it’s a day in which both lack and hope are present. The world is noisy, fast, and war is raging in many places, and at such times I feel even more strongly how important it is for hearts to be in order. They are not always there. But love – even if quietly – is still present.

It’s times like this (also!) that I think of my Grandma. Mama Éva.

The Body of God
When a crumb fell to the ground, he said to me: “Come on, my son, pick it up, it’s the body of God!”
To Mama Eva
Mama,
I remember your hands.
The flour apron.
The poppy seed cake you always gave me.
You didn’t often say you loved me.
But you knew what I needed.
And you gave it to me.
When you said:
“God’s body”,
you were talking about life.
About how nothing is indifferent.
When you left, I was young,
and I didn’t know how to live on without you.
Today I know:
I will continue in you.
Every Christmas Eve
I bend down for a crumb.
And you are there with me.
That which sustains
I didn’t understand what it meant then. Now I know: it was a respect for life, for that which sustains us.
On the Land
He worked hard all his life on the land, in Szuliman, in Szigetvár.
His feelings
He had a hard time showing his feelings, but he loved me exactly.

Poppyseed
He knew that poppyseed cake was everything to me, and he always gave it to me.

The real one
There was always a light shining in his eyes. The real one.
A part of me
She was my first big loss. I experienced a part of me leaving with her when I was eighteen.
Many have been missing since then.
My grandfather
My grandfather also left for heaven on Christmas Eve.
Mourning and Promise
This day has become for me not only a holiday, but also a day of remembrance. Mourning and promise at the same time.
My family
I miss my family too. My siblings, my children, our time together.

Presence
But there are those who still endure: friends who have become family. With whom silence does not need to be explained. Who remind us that love is not an institution, but a PRESENCE.
Share
This is what I wanted to share with you tonight.
What is
No big words, just what is.
In the light!
If the candle burns a little dimmer tonight, know that in that light is all the love we have received – and all the love we can give.
Peace
I wish you peace in your heart!
Have a blessed, peaceful Christmas!
Visó
