Your essay "Silt" is so beautifully written. I loved the part about your sister-in-law visiting you just before her death. And the eulogy you wrote from her own stories - perfect for her. Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for reading! It was a ‘loving exercise’ to write the eulogy from her own words. I thought it was best since she was a writer, and she had chosen me to find the right words!

True, 100% - people are complicated, siblings or otherwise. I'm glad you were able to celebrate with your family. I hope your piece remains part of the anthology.

Thanks! Yes, and families are complicated systems, aren’t they?
