On Monday @freshparsley.bsky.social won the Pulitzer Prize for his feature last year about his family and the flood last year. Coincidentally, this week was our last week of print production for the June issue, featuring this follow-up story by Aaron, on the months since the flood.

Being recognized for a story that honors my nephew Clay and the strength of my family means the world to me. I’m grateful to the Pulitzer Prizes committee, my dear friends, and incredibly talented colleagues at Texas Monthly.💙 @pulitzerprizes.bsky.social @texasmonthly.bsky.social

Thank you to everyone who read my family’s story in @texasmonthly.bsky.social. The response in letters, emails, messages, comments, and from people I’ve met in person has been overwhelming. We are so grateful. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...
