About Elsie
*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! PLEASE READ !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
Most people in Wishaw know me as Chris Rooney's & Ziggy McAllister's Mam. We
were a good team, the boys & me. Best pals, (most of the time) but we had our
ups and downs like any family. We stood up against the World as our wee team.
Their dad left when Ziggy was 3, (on his birthday, in fact) so we just had to
get on with life, and make the best of a bad joke. And we did, I worked very
hard to get them everything they wanted.
I encouraged them to get out into the world and explore it for all they could
learn. Chris took up the challenge, he spread those wings and moved to Europe,
covering France, Germany, Belgium and eventually settled down in Rotterdam,
Holland. Ziggy, the homing-bird, never ever left me. He was mine for 27 years.
27 very eventful years, I could write a book!!
Ziggy died in my arms in January 1998 and Chris died in April 2008. My heart has
been broken forever, shattered beyond ANYTHING I could ever have imagined.
Nothing will ever make up for the loss of my sons. A big part of me died with
them, and I will never be the same again. Their dad died in 2001.
I am the younger daughter (THE WEAN) of Ellen and John McAllister, I have two
older brothers and a sister.
I am gran of Nathan Reeve (Chris' Angel son) who was stillborn on 13 Sept 1995.
I am Aunt of John Rogers of Wishaw, who was murdered and dumped in the river
behind my house & Aunt of Dominic Matthews, (my sister's son from London) who
died aged 19, following a car accident.
They are all Angels now, and so very much loved and missed.
I work as a Volunteer in our local St Andrew's Hospice Charity Shop.

Hi! Just to explain why I have added “The Journey” passage again on Thomas’ site – I didn’t know the author previously, and have been trying to find out. I have managed to contact the author and she has kindly said that she would be happy for it to be used here on GTS.
So I have edited the original tribute to include the copyright details as requested. Unfortunately it doesn’t allow me to remove the original 2-part tribute with “Author Unknown” (middle of Page 1 on Thomas' site), only the memorial creator can do that, so if you could remove it, I would be grateful.
Take care, love Mel. xxx

Slow
Dance
This
is a poem
written by a teenager with cancer.
She wants to
see how many
people get her poem.
It is quite the poem
Please pass it
on.
This
poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a
New York Hospital .
It was sent by
a medical doctor -
Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
AFTER THE
POEM.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever
watched
kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to
the
rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the
fading
night?
You better slow down.
Don't
dance so
fast.
Time is short.
The music
won't
last.
Do you run through each day
On the
fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do
you hear
the
reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie
in your
bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through
your head?
You'd better
slow down
Don't dance so
fast.
Time is
short.
The music won't
last.
Ever told your
child,
We'll do it
tomorrow?
And in your
haste,
Not see
his sorrow?
Ever lost
touch,
Let a good
friendship die
Cause you
never had time
To call
and say,'Hi'
You'd
better slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time
is short.
The music won't
last.
When you run
so fast to get somewhere
You
miss half the fun of getting
there.
When you worry and hurry
through your
day,
It is like an unopened
gift....
Thrown
away.
Life is not a
race.
Do take it
slower
Hear the
music
Before the song is
over.
PART 2.....FORWARDED
E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL
COUNT...do not change the title
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know -
even to those you don't
know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon
leave this world
due to cancer.
This young girl has 6 months left
to live,
and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to
live their life to the fullest, since she never will.
She'll
never make it to prom, graduate from high school,
or get married and have a
family of her
own.
By you sending
this to as many people as
possible, you can give her and her family a
little hope, because with every name
that this is sent to, The American
Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name
to her treatment and recovery
plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know
that we can at least send
it to 5 or 6. It's
not even your money, just
your
time
