Katie Kirkpatrick has lung cancer.

Katie Kirkpatrick, 21, takes his daily medication a few minutes before dropping in momentary dream that causes the morphine while lying in the room sitting in his parents' home in Metamora. We are January 11, 2005. Katie has lung cancer.

Katie passes in front of her picture when she was crowned Queen at Lapeer East High School. The picture rests on the table in the living room in his parents' home in Metamora. It remains 11 January.

Katie, left, and right Nick Godwin, 23, waiting for the nurse to come Katie begin treatment at McLaren Regional Medical Center in Flint on the morning of January 12, 2005. Nick Godwin works the night shift as an aide to Sheriff Lapeer County. Katie is exhausted because the pain has left him no sleep. Nick also is now just leaving work.

Just the fact he was breathing very difficult to Katie and need to receive oxygen. The back pain is so intense that gets through the wall of morphine that is supposedly there to stop it. Their bodies are being badly affected. Katie and Nick are in love since they met in 11th grade.

Nick can not help falling asleep while his girlfriend is being treated intravenously. The intention is to drain fluid accumulation than the disease it causes.

Niki Kirkpatrick, right, was let go in thought. It took a leave from work to take care of her daughter and has come a time when Katie needs continuous support. Katie's suffering is evident in his face even while under the influence of morphine.

Katie in front of the mirror, puts her earrings. A few minutes to cross the aisle to take you to the altar of the church of Christ in Hazel Park. Once there will marry Nick. We are at 15 January 2005.

The couple had to be accompanied by an invited non grata throughout the ceremony and party: a bottle of oxygen. The other couple in the photo are Katie's parents, excited about the marriage of the child with the woman he fell in love since adolescence.

Katie rests a moment during the party after the ceremony. The banquet was held at the Boulder Point Golf Club and Banquet Center in Oxford on Saturday 15 January 2005. Katie was exhausted. Her face was as white as her wedding dress.


Katie and Nick enjoying the moment drawing a few seconds to be left alone.


Katie did not want to let your life librase disease early. The hope and faith made him believe it had a future.


Katie die 5 days later. It was a wonderful wedding.

Life is short, work as his first day forgive quickly delayed kiss, love truly laugh uncontrollably and never stop smiling As strange reason whatsoever.
Life can not be the party we hoped but as we are here, we should smile and give thanks ...

Dear readers I confess that my tears came when I met this story. Life is wonderful, until the last second.
