This is the 3rd of 4 episodes of Heart Dad Sunday -- a mini-series developed for Heart Month, February 2022. Heart Dad Frank Jaworski returns in this episode as the Guest Host. He interviews long-time friend, Michael Liben, about what it was like to raise a daughter with a critical congenital heart defect in Israel. Not only did Michael's daughter have double-outlet right ventricle, but she also had autism and she later developed epilepsy as well.

Michael is the father of three children: 27-year old Idan, 25-year-old Sapir, and forever 15-year old Liel. Michael and Leora have been married for 34 years and Michael made aliyah to Jerusalem after college.

Michael was a former filmmaker, high school teacher, adjunct professor of television and radio production, and he now works in security. For almost 6 years Michael has been working with Frank's wife, Anna, as the Host of a bereavement podcast now entitled, “Bereaved But Still Me.”
