Savoured Moments

On June 25th, 2023, a single phone call marked the beginning of a harrowing journey. In just three weeks, Bailey Ennig’s world was irrevocably changed by the sudden loss of his father to cancer.

Savoured Moments is a poetic graphic memoir born from Ennig’s sketchbooks and journals kept during those weeks and beyond. It captures the raw reality of caregiving, the bittersweet humour found in hospital hallways, and the profound emptiness of saying goodbye.

Through richly illustrated vignettes and candid reflections, Ennig transforms pain into art, honouring his father’s legacy while navigating waves of grief. This poignant work is both an intimate tribute and an invitation for readers to find connection through shared loss.

Savoured Moments reminds us that amidst heartbreak, there are glimmers of hope, moments of levity, and opportunities to leave the world better than we found it—just as Ennig’s father always taught him. A story of love, loss, and healing, this book is for anyone who has faced the unimaginable and found the strength to carry on.
