This
says something about courage and living life despite the
obstacles.-
How's this
story for a reminder that "We don't know we're
alive".
Her name
is Katie Kirkpatrick, 21 yrs old. Next
to
her is her
fiancé, Nick, 23. This picture was
taken
prior to
their wedding January 11th, 2012.
Katie
has
terminal cancer and spends hours
in
chemotherapy.
Here Nick awaits while she
finishes
one of the
sessions...
Even in
pain and dealing with her organs
shutting
down, with
the help of morphine, Katie took
care
of every
single part of the wedding planning.
Her
dress had
to be adjusted several times due to
Katie's
constant
weight loss.
An
expected guest was her oxygen tank. Katie
had
to use it
during the ceremony and reception.
The
other
couple in this picture is Nick's parents,
very
emotional
with the wedding and to see their
son
marrying
the girl he fell in love when he was an
adolescent.
Katie, in
a wheel chair listening to her husband and
friends singing to
her.
In the
middle of the party, Katie had to rest for a
bit
and catch
her breath. The pain does not allow her to stand
for long period of time.
Katie died
5 days after her wedding. To see a
fragile
woman
dress as a bride with a beautiful smile
makes
you
think... Happiness is always there within
reach,
no matter
how long it lasts. Let’s enjoy life and
don't
live a
complicated life. Life is too short. Work as if
it was your first day.
Forgive as
soon as possible. Love without boundaries. Laugh
without
control
and never stop smiling Please pray for those
suffering from
Cancer.
Keep this
going.
