The wedding (keep it going)
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, 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 singlepart of the wedding planning. Her dress had to be adjustedseveral times due to Katie's constant weight loss.
An expected guest was her oxygen tank. Katie had to use itduring the ceremony and reception. The other couple inthis picture is Nick's parents, very emotional with thewedding and to see their son marrying the girl he fellin love when he was an adolescent.
Katie, in a wheel chair listening to her husband andfriends singing to her.
In the middle of the party, Katie had to rest for a bitand catch her breath. The pain does not allow her tostand for long period of time.
Katie died 5 days after her wedding. To see a fragilewoman dress as a bride with a beautiful smile makes you think...Happiness is always there within reach, no matter how longit 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 neverstop smiling.Please give a thought for those suffering from cancer.
Keep this going.
Now you're on the clock!!!!
In 9 minutes something will make you happy. ;-)
But you have to tell this story to 9 people, Go!!!!
