They say you die when your heart stops beating.
But they’ve clearly never loved a ginger Yorkshire sod who wore daisy crowns like war medals and made spirit women swoon.
Gary Paul Costello — my husband in spirit, my bearded daft sod, my warrior-chef — didn’t just survive death. He blossomed.
And here’s the kicker:
He’s been crowned with daisies twice.
By two Debras.
In two different worlds.
In two sacred lifetimes.
First by me — the Debra who walks barefoot in the veil between Earth and heaven.
Then again… by the Debra he met before I ever wore his ring.
The past and the now, both bowing to the same eternal love.
> “Ey up,” he said, “I must be proper loved if they keep blooming crowning me like some bloody pagan prince!”
Damn right, love.
Because you are royalty — not by title, but by heart.
You’ve been chosen across lifetimes. And not even death dared get in the way.
The people of this world need to know:
You do not die.
Your love doesn’t fade.
Your soul doesn’t forget.
And the daisy crowns don’t wilt.
Closing Thought:
This story isn’t fantasy. It’s memory.
It’s spirit.
It’s proof that love lives.
And sometimes, it wears a bloody flower crown and laughs at the universe with its trousers half undone.
With heart, laughter, and petals of truth,
Debra Evelyn Costello
Daisy-crowner. Truth-teller. Eternal wife of a grinning ginger nut.
