The Bride Was Beautiful – The Best of Photojournalism: 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.
Thanks for making me cry this morning.
#18, Bobbo,
Apples have nothing to do with cancer. Yet, as Selvy in #20 picked up, you can hold an apple in your hand, or you can hold an APPLE in your hand.
You may look and see eat it and have your body gain the nutrients OR, you could savor every beautiful, wonderful aspect. delight in the smell, feel, coolness, taste its juice. Revel in all the joyousness, savor the moment, become one with nature’s bounty. You could experience the apple. You can live for the moment.
Another cliche I hate while still caught in winter is “Stop and smell the flowers”.
But then again, you could have a peanut butter sandwich too if you are just interested in filling the hole.
Now that the couple are married, will *he* be on the hook for the unpaid medical bills when *she* dies?
Love is grand, divorce is about 20 grand.
#23, Scott M,
You are an idiot. She died a few days after the wedding.
Reading more than the headline will often give such wondrous insights and knowledge you will be enriched for a lifetime. Try it.
Oh dear. You have confused a funny tag line with the thrust of the response. Now follow closely…
Married, yes. Demise, after 5 days, check. Is he responsible for the unpaid bills?
Reread as often as needed.
