Regine Stokke began to blog about her day-to-day life shortly after she
was diagnosed with leukemia in 2008. Regine's stated purpose with her
posts was to give people a sense of "what it's like to live with" such a
serious illness, and her blog became an almost instant classic. It was
first adapted into book form in 2010, and became a best seller in
Norway. Regine was also a very gifted photographer, and had her photos
exhibited at both the 2009 and the 2010 Nordic Light photography
festivals in Kristiansund |
