Life Is Short

Okay, this touching mail was sent to me by my cousin brother. Its hard to resist not to post it over here. Love can be great. Love can be blind. And this is love at its best!

Beautiful Lesson !!!!!!!!

The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 . Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23.
The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US .
Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medications.
In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end.


In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care
of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss.



An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.
The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.



At the reception, Katie had to take a few rests.The pain do not let her to be standing up for long periods.



Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last. We should stop making our lives complicated.

Life is short Break the rules forgive quickly kiss passionately, love truly laugh constantly And never stop smiling no matter how strange life is Life is not always the party we expected to be but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

What About love...

I've been lonely
I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending
Ain't making it through to your heart
You've been hiding, never letting it show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well
On the way to the top
But there's something that you forgot

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday

I cant tell you what you're feeling inside
I cant sell you what you don't want to buy
Somethings missing and you got to
Look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you

...and the video that caused all the ordeal....Million Dollar Lesson

My ordeal didn't actually end after I got hold of a new laptop and modem. I stubbornly upload the 'cursed' video again to Metacafe.

After the fifth or six try did I manage to successfully uploaded the entire video to Metacafe as the internet connection kept disconnected by its own. Imagine the frustration of having to wait for 15 mins (upload speed was so slowww...zZzzZZ) and nearly halfway through, suddenly the internet was disconnected! Not once but up to five or six times!

At long last, my video was uploaded and a the following day, my internet connection went completely dead! I thought it could be the modem, so I kept resetting the modem. Nah, it was working fine. It could be the wireless router. Nah, I directly connected the broadband jack top my laptop. Still no signal. Lastly, after fumbling, through trial and errors for a few hours, I connected the phone line to a phone. No dial tone. So, my line was dead! The lightning killed it too. Only, it died a slow death.

A quick call to the telephone provider solved all the problems, albeit a few days later. My schedule was tight so I delayed calling the provider. And they arrived the next day after my call.

Ah, so, all's well for now. Here's the video that caused me all the trouble and ordeal. With time, I hope to polish up on my skills. While watching this video, do me a favor guys. Please try not to fall asleep ;)
