True love story
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.

Nick Godwin who works night shift as a Lapeer County Sheriff’s deputy took Katie to the medical center after a night’s work, three days before their wedding.

Five days later, Katie died. She did not let sickness stop her from living, take away the hope or faith that made her believe she had a future. She had a lovely wedding and she had love and she gave love and love doesn’ t die. And that is how Katie beat cancer.

Advertisement placement fail…. That’s really rude…
The how to lose bellyfat ad was placed right under the image of her very frail, thin body.
that’s awesome story..really it was..
aisa pyar aajkal kaha.
See Jade Goody (of Big Brother fame) who died of cervical cancer on Mothers Day leaving 2 children, and got married only a couple of weeks beforehand to long term boyfriend Jack Tweed and sold the sorty to Hello Magazine – now thats what you call a celebrity coup. And actually, sadly, caused a huge rise in the amount of British women who went for cervical smears in the UK (including myself) – and possibly saved many hundreds of lives.
OMG That’s proves how dedicated people are to their love
Love is awesome.

very nice and every pic give some logical info to us.
Definitely made me cry. You know that guy will be heartbroken forever. It’s people like this that make the world a better place. To give up…not just your life… but your happiness so that someone’s last days can be worth the pain, is an amazing thing.
So Sweet, This is should be an example to those women who forgot how lucky they are to be married with a wonderfull husband and family.
Some says love are made in heaven, but why it’s hurting us so much.
true love still exists no matter what anybody says to oppose this…
Ayu! love doesn’t hurt… what hurts is lust in disguise.
yes its a true love story.i wanna cry now

Jade Goody was a useless racist whore, her bf tweedy has now been charged with RAPE, only good thing this horrid woman ever did was die and pass the word about testing

Nice story.

Reminds us how fragile and beautiful life is, and how we take this gift for granted. Trust in God, live every day like it’s your last, hold onto love and hope, be kind, give love and help others, because in the end, that’s all that matters. How much money you made, what kind of car you drove, how big your house was- none of that will matter. After watching this I went to hug everyone in the house. It’s amazing how a story like this can affect so many people in such a profound way. That’s what love does- it’s like a ripple effect- it goes on to bless more people than you’ll ever know!
I read it again… it’s really a touching story.
