The Wedding…
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, 2005.
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 of course
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 bride with a beautiful smile makes you think... happiness is always there within reach, no matter how long it lasts.....
lets 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. We all have close to our heart. Keep this going. Prayers are always answered.
Attitudes are contagious,
Is yours worth catching?
Dear God: The lady reading this is beautiful,
classy and strong,
and I love her.
Help her live her life
to the fullest.
Please promote her
and cause her to excel
above her
expectations.
Help her shine in
the darkest places
where it is
impossible to love.
Protect her at
all times,
lift her up
when she needs
You
the most,
and
let her know
when she
walks with you, she will
always be safe...
Love you Girl!!! Now you're
on the
clock!!!!
In 9 minutes
something will make you happy.
;-)
But you have to tell 9 sisters you love them,
Go!!
