"Well, crying isn't gonna bring your dog back . . . unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying and eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to make your dog come back or you can go out there and find your dog."

Take a look at these pictures if you can. The Bride was beautiful.
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.
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.

Well, I didn't come up with "The bride was beautiful" - it's the name of the photo essay.
We still want to see the tick - just maybe wait a short while :-)
I need to give you guys the ability to forward post in time.

Beautiful indeed. I love the tender expression on her groom's face in that picture.

I just read the post from my sis-in-law about the adoption of my niece.
( she’s named after me:-)
Then I saw those beautiful people.
God is so wonderful and it shows in His people

Wow. (Of course, leave it to you to find another way to say "The bride is beautiful" in a title.")
Seriously though, this is awesome.
And by the way, I was just about to put youtube clip from "The Tick" up here. You just spared the world, because there's no way I'm going to supercede this post with that one.
Poor sweet Nick...
