After almost 3 weeks in Perth, I am flying back to Israel early tomorrow morning with the realization that this may be the last time I spend with my dad alive.
I thank G-d I was given this opportunity to spend such quality time with dad, given I have lived on the other side of the world for the past 7+ years.
On a perhaps related matter, I am re-evaluating the future of this blog, which takes much of my time and effort, and a not insignificant amount of money. While in the past I have seen the value of it as exceeding the cost, I am now not sure. It is but a small fish in a veritable sea of pro-Israel blogs, and shows no sign of growing. If I hang up my blogging boots, the message will likely still get out there, and I can perhaps spend the time and effort on other worthwhile pursuits.
Of course, I realize my current frame of mind is coloring my judgment, but perhaps this is the correct perspective.
In any event, I have over 20 hours of flying to decide.
