    Dementia and Parkinson’s. That sucks.

    My kiddos love listening to his self-narrated stories on Spotify. (“OK Google. Play Robert Munsch stories.”) His love for children is so clear in his interactions with them in those recordings.

    Holy shit. This hurts.

    Edit: upoin reflection, at least we’re in a nation where he won’t have to needlessly suffer more than necessary. I suppose the alternative is worse.

    Sad news.

    Growing up his stories were such a big part of my childhood, and they were lovingly passed down to my cousins and my nephews and nieces. They’ve shaped the hearts of generations and helped add so much love and happiness to the world.

    I hope the best for him and his loved ones.

      Life is happiness and sadness together. I still hear his voice when I think of the name Mortimer from when I heard hime read the books on tv growing up.

    Honestly the fact he’s made it this far is insane in itself if you look up the shit he’s dealt with.
