Today is All-Souls Day. We usually celebrate this day to remember our departed loved ones by paying a visit to the cemeteries, to light candles and place flowers on their graves. Since I am not able to visit my grandma in the Philippines and also my brother, Chuck, in Canada — I wanted to dedicate this post to them. To my grandma, Lucia and to my big brother, Chuck, I miss you and I love you always.
Rest in Peace.

Jacqueline Wilson is interviewed again, this time by Hannah Pool for the Guardian.
I think one of the reasons Wilson really reaches her audience is her honesty. Take a look at this exchange:
Q: Divorce plays a big part in your books. Does the high divorce rate make you angry?
A: I think it's sad, but then I'm divorced myself.
Love it!
She also has a unique take on the recent UN report that concluded that kids in the U.K. and the US are worse off than children in any other industrialized country:
Q: There have been reports recently that British children are the least happy in Europe. Do we fail our children?
A: I think most parents do take parenthood seriously and try very hard to please their children. I think all of us just want to muddle through the best we can. I wouldn't know where people are going wrong; maybe our teenagers are just a bit more articulate in moaning about their lot in life.
(Okay, I agree with Wilson that maybe parents are not at fault, but I hardly think we can chalk this up to articulate children!)
===========================
Also in the Guardian--another Minister (British) wants boys to read more.

I stopped by your blog because I wanted to check out your trick or treat piece, which is adorable. However I would also like to comment on this piece. This is a very sweet tribute to your brother and grandma. The picture and sentiment is very touching, they must be so proud of you.
Your illo is so touching, Michelle. I agree with Coco, your family must be proud of you.
Un abrazo enorme.

Thanks Pati :) You are too sweet. Thanks Coco too!
Very touching Michelle. Very nice piece as well!
Very nice. Your brother was the cook, wasn't he?
Sweet tribute :)
Hi Michelle, This post touched me because of the losses I have also experienced. I think this is a wonderful tribute. We never stop missing those we love and have lost, but hopefully we are one day reunited with them once again. This is my hope for you. Meanwhile, I hope you are comforted by happy memories. - kate : )
