On February 12th 8:04 am I received a phone call from my sister in Israel telling me “Abba (father) passed away.”
Instead of going into the office, to my full time job at National Geographic Magazine I traveled the entire day, alone, via taxi, bus, subway and two flights to reach home.
In a moment, after I hung up the phone with my sister, shaking uncontrollably as tears stream down my face it all became clear.
This is my story, our story and I need to tell it.
