The saddest goodbye

Ron Husband, 1925- 2011


Take a look at the cartoons, they are  so poignant


When Ron Husband started to forget things - dates, names, where he'd put things - it took a while for his family to realise 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.
