Nick & Katie

Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication. 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. 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.

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.
