Harry Horse, the author and illustrator of the "Little Rabbit" books has died, apparently due to a suicide pact with his wife. Mandy, suffered from MS and was confined to a wheelchair at the age of 39. More about it here.
This story really struck me. I hope they found the peace they wanted with death.

They must have had a strong love for one another....sigh.
First time on your blog. Touching story about the author and his wife..
On a slightly different note, my daughter loves your book "The Ugly Vegetables" - a neat picture book. Will definitely recommend the book and provide a link to your work on my multi-cultural children's book blog..
We look forward to reading more of your books, and discover more about Lizzy...
Thanks!

Grace,
Being a caregiver is the hardest thing of all.
It must be incredibly difficult to be creative during such a stressful time.
I can tell you're much stronger than you think you are.
Make yourself another batch of cupcakes and enjoy them.

It is truly difficult to be in a relationship where one spouse is a caregiver and the other spouse is disabled--there are so much complexity to the layers of emotions for both spouses. I cannot imagine the desperate hopelessness and intense commitment to each other that they could not fight for the hope of the one good day. I wish them the peace they were searching for.
