The Easter holidays of Matej “Sajfa” Cifra (46) and Veronika Cifra Ostrihoňová (37) were marked by the health problems of their son Šimon (3). He has been hospitalized for several weeks, which forced the couple to completely reorganize their plans. The parents take turns with him and at the same time try to pay enough attention to their older daughter Sára (6).
The couple keeps the diagnosis or any details of the boy’s hospitalization to themselves. Even in hospital conditions, however, they tried to create at least a bit of a festive atmosphere for him. “This year it’s a different Easter holiday. But we play with what we have. And that Šimon is playing bravely,” the MEP wrote on Instagram on Monday.
The effort to give the children a little joy probably won over the fatigue and difficult situation in which the family found themselves. “Circumstances (understand the parents) made sure that the kids didn’t miss out on finding the eggs, they found them all (if not, whoever finds the forgotten one is his) and for a while it all seemed so… normal. And yes, the shenanigans also appeared here today, believe it or not!” she described the holiday. Their kids were given a map of the whole ward to try to find the hidden eggs.

The last weeks have brought them an unexpected test, but their attitude remains full of humility and faith in a better tomorrow. “Easter is not always just about traditions. Sometimes it is also about strength, patience, and hope. I believe that you enjoyed the holidays exactly as you wanted to enjoy them. We want to thank the staff again from the bottom of our hearts for their incredible patience, willingness and humanity.” concluded Ostrihoňová.
The sight of sincere childish happiness while searching the hospital corridors was definitely the greatest reward for her in these moments. VIDEO you can find the beginning of the article from their non-traditional Easter.
Father Sajfa often entertains his son. A few days ago he took a picture of the situation, when a whole watermelon fell on the floor in their hospital room. The moderator added a description of the crime scene. Instead of anger or stress, he led a calm dialogue where the son proposed solutions with childlike sincerity.
“Well, what are we going to do now, buddy?” asked Šimon and focused on the cracked and leaking watermelon. “I don’t know…but it doesn’t matter” said the little son innocently, while the father ironically stated that it was great that it fell on him. “Does it matter?” continued the moderator. “And who doesn’t mind?” the well-known father did not give in. “Me, because we’ll wipe it off,” Simon found a solution. “Let’s wipe it off, huh? And I’m going to… huh? Great, good job!” praised the ingenuity of little Sajf additionally.
