Take Care, Son

The Story of My Dad and his Dementia

Tony Husband

Having read it

★★★★☆

Touching and life-affirming in its illustrations, words, honesty and love.

A good passage

I remember one time, though. I’d spent a few hours with you in your room. You slept, I worked. Then, when I left and said goodbye, you replied, clear as a bell . . . ‘Take care son.’ It took me aback. They were the last words I heard you say.
It was like a candle flickering back to life for a moment . . . then it went out for ever.
It was all very scary. Imagine a day when nothing will mean anything to you.
