"The Saddest Goodbye" By Cartoonist, Tony Husband

Dear Caregivers,

Endless words are written on DEMENTIA.  "The Saddest Goodbye" is a very touching and poignant story beautifully illustrated in pictures by Cartoonist, Tony Husband on his family watching this dreadful disease steal away their father, Ron Husband.

In the words of Tony Husband, when their father, 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 their father away from them.
