LupCheong Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21. Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23. The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US .Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication.In the picture, Nick is waiting for her for one of the many sessions of chemo to end.In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took careof every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss.An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that ketie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see her son marrying his high school sweetheart.Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube , listening a song from her husband and friends .At the reception, katie had to take a few rests.The pain does not let her stand up for long periods.Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last. We should stop making our lives complicated.Life is shortBreak the rulesForgive quicklyLaugh constantlyAnd never stop smilingNo matter how strange life isLife is not always the party we expected to beBut as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.
