I stumbled across this story today.
I don't know that i have ever heard a more tender story of bravery,
unconditional sacrificial love,
& the joy of living your life to the fullest --each moment.
The link i have is actually from snopes which a longer version of the story.
I urge you to take the 120 seconds it will take to read this.....
Personally, I pray I learn from this story....that i take to heart the lesson from this beautiful bride ....that i learn to not live a life wrapped up in fear (which i struggle with frequently) ...
that I take each day as a blessing & live it , out loud, to its fullest blessing.

I saw this yesterday on someone else's blog, and was teary eyed. Incredible and beautiful! Glad you shared it here for our readers :)
ReplyDeleteRachel said it - Incredible and beautiful. Such a great reminder. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis really puts life into perspective. It's a bitter sweet story that can't help but tug at the heart. Thank you for sharing this. It makes me want to be the best wife I can be to my husband.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Paige! We just can't take anything for granted can we? Oh, if my husband were home I would SO go snuggle him right now!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw this on a blog yesterday too. It is such a beautiful, heart-breaking story. Gives me chills. How easy it is to take so much for granted.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing...thank you.
ReplyDeleteI too strugle a lot not to wrap up my life in fear, not to have the fear of loss darkening my most precious moments. Time is infinite while it lasts...and I guess that´s what we have to keep in mind.
Have a great day, filled with precious moments. By the way, I love the pictures on your blog. They seem to capture the beauty and happiness beyond the visible. Thanl you for them as well.
That was a remarkable story and beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletePaige,

I've been reading your blog for a while, but am only now commenting. I knew Katie most of her life. Our families attended church together and I was several years older than she was and babysat for her and her sister. She was truly an amazing girl and then woman. Please pray for her family...her mom and sister especially...her father, David just passed away in March after a long battle with cancer.
ReplyDeleteMorning Paige~ what a reminder, what a fighter, what an incredible story. I need to let the worry go and enjoy each day no matter what i brings. thank you for sharing, I passed it along to some of my friends...I hope you have a wonderful weekend~ XO
ReplyDeleteWhat a heartbreaking story, with a wonderful lesson. I truly feel most problems are surmountable as long as you, and the ones you love, have their health. I do know from personal experience that when your health, or your child's health, is threatened, everything else falls away.
ReplyDeleteThanks you for sharing this. Your blog (and you) inspires me every time I visit.
Cheers,
Linda
Amazing. Living out loud in a true sense!
ReplyDeleteLife can rain and yes we should keep our heads up, but not so up and not moving forward that we get drowned by the rain (fear) that is trying to cleanse us and make us better for Him.
What an inspiration this girl and her husband are!

ReplyDeleteI love this story..such a wonderful and sweet reminder to keep living life to the fullest even in the midst of the unthinkable!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this. I have been going through a difficult situation and I find myself feeling sorry for myself and being a general downer. I need to remember that life is what we make of it....trials or not.
