A few things struck me about this. First, I’m fascinated by the regret your grandmother felt by going to Budapest. I’d love to know more about that. Second, I can relate to the feeling of not being sure if I want to listen and then being really glad I did. It’s so important to listen to the stories of those who came before us. I’ve come to realize that it’s our duty to listen well and pass their stories on (the happy and the sad ones alike).
