"The real does not die, the unreal never lived." --Nisargadatta Maharaj
The Bride Was Beautiful
She walked down the wedding aisle, without once stopping to use her oxygen tank. 21-year-old Katie Kirkpatrick made it to the altar, holding off cancer to celebrate the happiest day of her life. She had already survived cancer once, only to have it return to her lungs and invade her heart. Her organs were shutting down, but this was not going to stop her from fulfilling her dream of marrying Nick Godwin, her high school sweetheart. Five days after the wedding, she died peacefully among loved ones. This touching 12-photo picture story shares Katie and Nick's remarkable journey.
