This story of true love and dedication should give us all a reason to pause and reflect during our transition into a new year.

Keasha Ruteleage & Christopher Draft were married November 27, 2011 in Atlanta, GA.

Chris Draft, an 11 year NFL veteran married Keasha in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by family and friends.

During the wedding ceremony, Keasha wheeled her way down the aisle in a wheel chair, taking the last few steps to say her ?I do?s? to the love of her life.

Sadly, after only one month of wedded bliss, Keasha Ruteleage-Draft succumbed to her battle with cancer on December 27, 2011.

Their short lived marriage does not negate the love that was evident between the two.

Life is way too short.

Do what you’ve always wanted to do… say what you’ve always wanted to say… live how you’ve always wanted to live.

Try not to sweat the small stuff, treat people right and love as hard as you can.

And last but not least… be happy.

My prayers and condolences go out to the Draft family.
