The saddest goodbye: Endless words are written on
dementia. But can ANY match the poignancy of cartoonist Tony Husband's account
of watching it steal away his father?
When Ron Husband started to forget things - dates, names, where he'd put things - it took a while for his family to realize that this was a different kind of forgetting. In fact, it was just the first sign of the dementia that gradually took him away from them. Now his illustrator son, Tony, has turned their story into a heartbreaking picture book unlike any other. The result is a profoundly poignant account that will strike a chord with so many families touched by this cruelest of illnesses.
