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.
Katie Kirkpatrick, left, and Nick Godwin, wait for the nurse to come
and start Katie's treatment at McLaren Regional Medical Center in Flint
on the morning of January 12, 2005. Nick Godwin works night shift as a
Lapeer County Sheriff's deputy and took Katie to the medical center
right after a night's work, three days before their wedding. Katie is
tired from not being able to sleep at night because of her pain and Nick
had worked a night shift.
Katie is in a lot of pain in the days leading to her wedding taking
morphine and numerous medications to help her. Niki Kirkpatrick,right,
took a leave of absence from work so she can take care of her daughter
Katie who now needs constant assistance.

Katie was exhausted. Her face looked as white as her gown.
Five
days later, Katie died. She did not let sickness stop her from living,
take away the hope or faith that made her believe she had a future. She
had a lovely wedding and she had love and she gave love and love doesn' t
die. And that is how Katie beat cancer. විවාහයෙන් දවස පහකට පසු Katie මෙලොවින් සමුගත්තේය.පෙම්වතියකගේ ඇති එක්
මහත් ආශාවක් වන්නේ විවාහ දිනයයි.ඒ ලස්සන දිනය එනතුරු ඇගිලි ගනිමින් සුදානම්
වන්නේ අවුරුද්දක් පමණ ඉහතින්ය.ඒ දුර්වල යුවතිය මංගල ඇදුමින් සැරසී දුක
සගවා සිනාසී සිටින අයුරු හොදින් බලන්න.ඇයව සතුටු කිරීමට ඇයගේ අවසාන සිහිනය
සැබෑ කර වූ ඒ පෙම්වතා හට අපගේ ආචාර
