Book description
When Kristian Anderson received the diagnosis that every devoted
husband and father fears, he refused to resign himself silently to fate.
He began a brave and candid blog as he underwent treatment for cancer:
sharing the joy of each small victory, the devastation in every setback,
and the agonising realisation that he wouldn't always be able to protect
and comfort his little boys when they were lonely or afraid, or grow old
with his wife and soulmate.
His posts full of hope, faith, and breathtaking honesty captured
Australian hearts, then swept across the Pacific, gathering followers. A
poignant video tribute for his wife Rachel became an internet
phenomenon, attracting messages from well-wishers across the globe.
After his death, their love inspired Rachel to bring together
Kristian's blog entries combined with her own intimate reflections. Days
Like These is a heartbreaking account of her husband's final battle, his
strength and courage, but it is also a story about coming back from
grief, and learning how to live again. There are love stories and then
there is the story of Kristian and Rachel Anderson.
After learning he had cancer, Kristian wanted nothing more than to show
his wife Rachel how much he loved her. Thanks to the now famous YouTube
video he made for her 35th birthday, he captured the world′s attention.
Many of us didn′t know Kristian but we were so inspired by him that we
felt like we did.
His story is a lasting legacy to a brief but blessed life that will
inspire others to know that even in the darkest moments, the light can
shine through.
