Unconditional Love
Just when you think that you’ve had it up to here with wedding planning you come across something that helps you put it all into perspective. What are weddings about anyway? Does all the glitz and glamor matter, or is marrying the one you love most important?
The following story took place in 2005.
Katie Kirkpatrick, 21, held off cancer to celebrate the happiest day of her life. Katie had chased cancer, once only to have it return-to clog her lungs and grab hold of her heart. Breathing was difficult now, she had to use oxygen. The pain in her back was so intense it broke through the morphine that was supposed to act as a shield. Her organs were shutting down but it would not stop her from marrying Nick Godwin, 23, who was in love with Katie since 11th grade. [Source: GreatBlogAbout] [Original found here]
5 days after the wedding, Kate died.
