Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest.

This is a very moving story, a bridge between two worlds. I love your concept of the “Great Window”, where our older sister gazes into the world she has left behind; I love how important it is to her that she keep her beloved younger sister in sight.

What a lovely story that gives a sense of hope. I think what many of us fear is not being able to check on our loved ones when we are no longer here.

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleThis story connects the two worlds. I read it two times, and I love it so much. I have my 2 younger sisters too, and love them both as you do. I love the way you give importance to your younger sister that you always follow her with your eyes. I was engaged and touched.
You describe the ‘Great Window’ so beautifully Emilia that I felt I was gazing through it with the sister. Although there were moments of sadness, there was a feeling of peace that flowed through your story. Very moving.
