How are you current living - A Katie Kirkpatick Story
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.
