Rock On, @Debutaunt! You Will Be Loved Forever

Not sure if you followed, but my sister, Debby Greer-Costello experienced a leukemia relapse and she suffered for six long months in a hospital bed.

Today, her spirit finally passed. I cannot tell you what a relief this is to know that such a beautiful person is no longer undergoing the pain and frustration that is cancer. Deb was such a fun and uplifting person. When you see such a fun person undergo such a taxing disease, it makes you question the justice in the universe. Seriously.

Although I am sad that I will never see my sister again, all is not lost. In my sister’s blog, she used to give people a mission to people everyday. If I know my sister at all, here are the missions she would give you now that she is gone:
1.) Take care of yourself. Whether you realize it or not, people really love you.
2.) Realize that every day is a gift and that every time you see someone, it could be the last. You will see that every person has worth.
3.) Look out for those who need your help the most. The hope you will give others is immeasurable.

I love you, Debster.
RIP Deborah Marie Greer-Costello

Send a Little Love to a Blog Queen

My sister just reported that she has a 102 fever. That’s very discouraging. She has been battling not fun symptoms for quite some time after undergoing a stem cell transplant to battle leukemia. As much as my parents paid to send me to college to make me articulate, I cannot express how hard it is to see your sister undergo such harsh treatments, and how much we need to find a cure for this disease.

Please show a blogger support by dropping a supportive comment her way at www.debutaunt.com. She is a real sweatheart, and I really want to see her well this weekend.
