CA With Love
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?
