This special episode is not about the past, but about current events. Since the brutal attack by Hamas on October 7th 2023, my father has been volunteering with communities who've been displaced from the towns around Gaza, who've gone through horrendous atrocities and are trying to just find a stable footing to stand on.

This episode was recorded and published on the same day. It was mostly done in one take and it doesn't have perfect editing, so please be kind and patient with it.

WARNING: This episode includes difficult subjects of death, grief, mental health, and slight non-detailed graphical descriptions.

The Mossad is the Israeli equivalent to the CIA. It is known for its covert missions all over the world, and in the late 60s they assisted the rebellion in Kurdistan. Mick was able to join the mission as a doctor to help the team there. Managing field medical services alone and in disguise is not an easy task, and he finds different ways he can help people in need.

This bonus episode is a piece that was cut from the previous episode, where my dad gives more details on how his side of the marriage proposal looked like.

It's a perfect segue to our next episode which will tell the full story of my father's secret mission to Kurdistan. You should totally check that one out as well.
