Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
LEONARD COHEN, ‘ANTHEM’
My name is Rachel Anderson and I am Kristian Anderson’s wife. I will not say ‘was’, even though Kristian left this life on 2 January 2012.
Kristian was my husband, the father of our two boys Cody and Jakob, a television editor, musician, man of faith. Through the last two years of his life Kristian did battle with cancer in his bowel and liver. His way of keeping his friends and family updated with what was happening with his cancer battle and in our world was through his blog, How the Light Gets In (http://howthelightgetsin.net). In choosing the name, Kristian was inspired by Leonard Cohen’s lyrics; he said that the words seemed like a good fit for him at that time in his life.
As it turned out, Kristian’s blog was seen by people far beyond the immediate circle of those who loved him. More than a quarter of a million people paid a visit from all around the globe: he had many visitors from Australia, the United States and New Zealand as well as more than 150 other countries. In the week he died, there were over 450,000 hits on the blog.
Through his last months here, Kristian worked on writing a book that he could leave behind for Cody, Jakob and me, drawing on words and photos from his blog. Now that he is gone, it seemed that one way we could honour his memory was to make sure this book came to be.
So here it is. I hope that it will be a blessing to the many who loved and supported Kristian through the time he was with us.
