Description:Aged 35, diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel Cancer, Laura was persuaded to write her story. “Nobody Said it Would be Easy” is that story, a collection of blog entries, quotes and written messages.On Thursday 19th April 2018 Laura Stephenson was diagnosed with having Stage 4 Bowel Cancer. From that moment on she fervently refused to let Cancer rule her life. Her faith was immense. Her courage was enormous. Less than 12 months earlier she had given birth to twin girls to add to her family of a 5 year old girl and a husband.This book is a collection of blog entries, quotes and written messages. Laura’s faith clearly shines through, but her entries and thoughts are pertinent to many people’s daily lives. It’s about living, about faith, about hope and an unswerving belief that those with cancer can lead an amazing life.On Thursday 19th April 2018 as her father , I got a telephone call from Laura as she was coming away from her appointment with the consultant. He gave her the news that she had Stage 4 Bowel cancer. When she called, Laura and her husband, Mark, were in the car on their way home to give the news to Mark’s mum and dad and to Laura’s mum. At the time I was in Malawi, volunteering on behalf of Voluntary Services Overseas. As you can imagine, the telephone call was not an easy one.“I don’t want this, Dad. I want to see my girls grow up. I want to see them get married.” And when you’re that distance away all you can say is,“You will! I promise. You will!” Needless to say I caught the first flight home.From that day onward, Laura fought with all her might and strength to do just that. As the days progressed, so did her faith in God that would help her throughout this journey. A God that would guide her in every footstep she took, every decision she took and every moment of her day.Sister to Emily and Harriet – “inspirational and beautiful”, wife of Mark, “superhero” and mother of Heidi “my very own angel”, and twins, Sophie and Naomi, ‘my two warriors’, Laura was born to be a model ‘Mum’. After being diagnosed with Bowel cancer she was determined to not let anything get in the way of looking after her three daughters. Many a time the offer to pick her daughter, Heidi up from school, or offer to look after her twins, Naomi and Sophie for a short while was made. The answer was always the same. “No thanks I can do it. I’m fine.”Laura’s words were about how she felt and how she thought there was a very special meaning to her life. Many of her words in the book are very applicable to the world situation we find ourselves in at this moment. An amazing ability to sum up in words, thoughts and feelings that are so applicable to today.“The thing is with being positive; it is a choice. We have the freedom to choose how we approach something … Being given the freedom to choose how we face those things in front of us, is something that I wouldn’t swop for anything… Every time I choose faith over fear, hope over worry and belief over doubt.”“Enjoy the air in your lungs, drink in the beauty around you and take ten minutes out of a day to just sit, loving your own company.”Her faith was immense. Her courage was enormous. Her words will live on forever and make us all think about life, whether you have a faith as strong as Laura’s or just a belief to be the best we can in this world.The book is a compilation of those blogs.All quotes in the book are Laura’s or comments from people who knew Laura.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
