This was her love story....

I received and kept this email for quite sometimes.It is in my inbox,...stil.I have this habit,wheres if i found or read  something that i like,i'll keep,remain it in my inbox.I know,eventually one day i will open it back,and read it again,and again and again...And thats what happened.I was checking thru my last year emails and found this one "Touching Love Story".As it did before,it strucked to my heart and mind all over again..

For those who have read it,i guessed no harm in re-visiting..rite?For the 'first timer'....hope this will touch your heart and soul as it touches mine.And this was HER love story.........

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 on 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 care of 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 Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see  their son marrying his high school sweetheart...

Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube , listening to a song from her husband and friends ..

At the reception, Katie had to take a few rests.  The pain did not allow her to stand 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 lasts.  

We should stop making our lives complicated."

...........

Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly, 

Love truly,
Laugh constantly, 
And never stop smiling

No matter how strange life is,

Life is not always the party we expected to be

but as long as we are here,we should smile and be grateful.

p/s : I could not agree more...life is unpredictable but yet I do believe,when we live our MOMENT,appreciate LIFE and cherish the LOVE,could anything go.............. wrong?Maybe..?Probably..?What does really does matter...is that at least we TRY and APPRECIATE IT.
