Must read...

Warning:
Longish post to follow.
It may make you cry.
Hopefully it will make you think.
About your own life, and those in it.
Made me a little sad, but also made me smile.
The love that was so evident in the young couple.
The strength from everyone involved.
The parents, the friends.
I hope it makes your day seem not so bad.
I know it did that to me.

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.
