Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 10:01 AM     THE WEDDING!!!    THIS IS JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL AND TOO MEANINGFUL,   JUST TAKE THE TIME AND REFLECT UPON IT. GOD BLESS,   Her name is Katie Kirkpatrick,  21 yrs old. Next to her is her fiancée, 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  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 are 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 doesn't 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 even if you don't know the reason.  Please pray for those suffering from cancer.   We all have close to our heart.   Keep this going   Prayers are always answered
