I received this on my email, I can’t validate its honesty of the story, but what I am about to share is that I’m amazed of what the couple did…

The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 . Next to her, her fiance, 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 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 do not let her to be standing up for long periods

Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a women 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 short

Break the rules

forgive quickly

kiss passionately, 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.

Jagshemash,

Feel horrible. Last night I went out with a girl, mainly to see what she looked like. This was the girl I’ve been spending a lot of time on the phone with. And I didn’t like what I saw. But I had to see her just to know, you know, right? That way I could stop wondering. And man it was a long few hours but I’m glad I did it, so I know I don’t have to do it anymore.
Anyhow, I feel like I’ve wasted so much of my life with this girl I’ve been spending so much of my time with on the phone. I’m a bit mad at myself for what feels like I’ve been fooling myself. I went to the UCLA game earlier with a girl I can tolerate a little more. (The girl I went out with had a lot of acne and talked a lot without listening to me, two things that really turn me on).

I’m glad I finally saw her, know what I mean? Like medicine I have to take that’s not really good for me, but at least I know I can look for another medicine.
Love hurts, but sometimes it’s a good hurt because I feel like I’m alive, Love sings, when it transcends the bad things, love hurts, but without love I won’t survive.

This poem is for everyone who has ever loved, been loved and needs loved, but most of all for those who wish to understand love.

A Universal State

It is a very strange emotion
Over which we have no control
It can descend upon you suddenly
And penetrate your soul

For love has no boundary
And no one is immune
It will tug upon your heart strings
And play its merry tune

And though the world is full
Of famine, war and death
Love transcends them all
As it is in our very breath

Because love is more than an emotion
It is a universal state
The very essence of our lives
A very human trait

So when you get those feelings
Let love envelop you
Embrace, nurture, cherish it
And show it to others too

By James
