I loved this so much and was especially happy to see two personal friends profiled here: Casey and Nikki. I, too, was BLOWN AWAY by Casey's piece, Still, and absolutely loved her memoir. And those by the rest of her writing group. I can attest to the power of artifacts to pull you back into memories. I kept the notebooks from more than 25 years ago, when my daughter was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness that held all my notes from her hospital admissions and appointments and as I'm writing my memoir, those plunged me back so fully into that time period, with all of the emotions that went with it. Self-care is so important when taking those deep dives.

Casey's stunning flash piece, "Still," has touched so many. I've probably read it twenty times and it still gets me right in the sinuses. Every time.
