The story behind Stories of You…

My youngest son Anders, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (blood cancer) at the age of

4 years old. He received leukemia treatment for 2 ½ years. He struggled every day, but every day he chose to fight. Today he is strong, loving, witty, and cancer free!

My mother Karen was diagnosed with glioblastoma (the most aggressive form of brain tumors) at the age of 57. She entered the gates of Heaven after a hard 16-month battle when Anders was just one month old.

Her greatest love was God, her greatest joy was her family, and she longed to share God’s love with everyone she could.

The lessons my mother taught me about loving God and caring for others became a foundation for me to stand on while caring for my son during his cancer journey. They filled me with comfort and hope. My hope is that this book brings comfort and strength to children and families who are struggling with the uncertainties of a terminal diagnosis or the grief that comes from losing a loved one.
