Katie, in a wheel chair listening to her husband and friends singing to her.
Katie died 5 days after her wedding. To see a fragile woman dress as bride with a beautiful smile makes you think... Happiness is always there within reach, no matter how long it lasts. Lets enjoy life and don't live a complicated life. Life is too short.
Work as if it was your first day. Forgive as soon as possible.
Love without boundaries. Laugh without control and never stop smiling. Please pray for those suffering from cancer.
I hope this story touched you as it did for me....I received this via a forward email from a dear friend. I didn't know this little gal and her husband....but their courage to go on with the wedding and laugh and love...helps me to realize any of my little griefs are not worth the sorrow! "Smile and be HAPPY!"...that is what I always had told my girls as they were growing up and even now!
May you smile and be HAPPY today!!

Oh Carolyn, what a loving and touching story! I cried like a baby when I read this (shouldn't have been reading posts at work!). It is true, live each day to the fullest!! Have a good one!
Oh, Carolyn! I have chills reading this! Very beautiful and brave young lady! I'm so glad she was able to go through with her wedding and be happy!
And I think I have problems some time! I'm ashamed. God is so good to me and I feel so unworthy at times. Thank you Carolyn for this beautiful post.
Blessings,
Shelia ;)
Very inspiring !!
Hi Carolyn,
This is such a touching and loving story you've shared; thank you for posting Katie and Nick's life together.
"Work as if it was your first day. Forgive as soon as possible.
Love without boundaries. Laugh without control and never stop smiling."
These are marvelous thoughts to live by.
I lift you up in prayer Carolyn, thanking our God and Saviour for the blessing you are. Through you, our Lord inspires and encourages many.
Blessings and peace.

So very touching. Every minute of every day is so precious.
Makes you want to step back, stop, and appreciate everything that we have to be thankful for. We tend to take so much for granted even knowing that we are not promised tomorrow. Each day is a precious gift from our Father in Heaven and we should make the most of it and "Be Happy". Thank you for this bittersweet reminder my friend.
What a bittersweet reminder that life is precious and time is so short!
I found your blog via Michele's Parlor and Kitchen Notes and was touched beyond words by this post!!

Made me cry.Such a very touching story.
I need to put my petty troubles in perspective and remember how truly blessed I am.
Thanks for sharing. Annette
Oh Miss C...I've read this before but it's been a long time. Sure does put things in perspective...doesn't it?
What I know to be true is that when crummy things sometimes happen in our lives they are not real tragedies...just crummy things. I have a tendency to label things "terrible" or "devastating" when in tough days come along (and they always do). This past year I've tried to look at life from a different perspective and know in my heart that all is good and well.
Thank you for sharing~

A precious story of LOVE..COURAGE..and FRIENDSHIP! To know this sweet couple knew eachother for years..and then this special DAY. Very touching and sobering as we take so much for granted.
