On September 23, we remember with love my niece and goddaughter, Selina Marie McAllister, who would have turned 42. Her middle name, Marie, honors my late mother, and her life was a shining thread in the fabric of our family.
Selina who faced some difficult times had a heart full of wonder—she loved horses and unicorns, symbols of freedom, beauty, and grace. Though her time here was far too short, her light continues to shine through her parents, my sister Josie and her husband Joe, and in all of us who carry her memory.
“Some lives are too radiant for this earth—Selina’s spirit reminds us that love never dies, it simply changes form. She rides now among Heaven’s horses and unicorns, her joy eternal.”
Unicorn Wings—A Poem in her memory:
On Heaven’s fields she runs so free,
With horses wild by crystal sea.
A unicorn waits, its horn aglow,
Guiding her spirit where angels go.
Her laughter drifts like morning air,
A gentle sign she’s always there.
Though earth feels empty, Heaven sings,
Selina rides on unicorn wings.
