Yours was one of my favourite blogs Way Back When and it always feels like a treat to see things you have written. The two stories are beautifully crafted.

Thanks for the NYT piece. I'm currently in treatment for stage 0 BC. I can't imagine how much more stressful this would be if I was also concerned with my fertility. Salt on the wound, that feels like.

Can't wait to read the 1000 word story, congrats on your accomplishment with winning! 🎉

I enjoyed your fiction piece. It reminded me of a shiva I went to recently and the kids (including the child whose mom had just passed) were all on the trampoline. Someone was laying in the middle and the kids were chanting, “dead person, dead person, come alive!!” And they would jump up and chase them, eyes closed. It was so interesting how transparent children can be in play.
