ALWAYS BE THANKFUL......................

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

TRUE LOVE - YOU MUST SEE THIS WEDDING

Her name is Katie Kirkpatrick, 21 yrs old. Next to her is her fiance, Nick, 23.
This picture was taken prior to their wedding January 11th, 2005.
Katie has terminal cancer and spends hours in chemotherapy.
Here Nick awaits while she finishes one of the sessions... 
Even in pain and dealing with her organs shutting down, with the help of morphine,
Katie took care of every single part of the wedding planning.
Her dress had to be adjusted several times due to Katie 's constant weight loss. 

An expected guest was her oxygen tank. Katie had to use it during the ceremony and reception.
The other couple in this picture is Nick's parents, very emotional with the wedding and to see their
Son marrying the girl he fell in love when he was an adolescent. 

                       Katie , in a wheel chair listening to her husband and friends singing to her. 


In the middle of the party, Katie had to rest for a bit and catch her breath.

The pain does not allow her to stand for long period of time. 
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.
          We all have close to our heart.
          Keep this going.
                                         Prayers are always answered.
