My little collection of ceramic pumpkin lanterns. The little luminaria with the jagged edges is over 30 years old. My sister died in 2008 and because Halloween was THE special holiday for us as siblings together, when we were kids and also as I parented 4 kids on my own, it was very hard to light these. I finally did so tonight, for the first time after she died. I hope everyone had a lovely, safe Halloween!
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
