One day in December last year, while Peter and Lisa Marshall were watching their favorite TV show, Peter saw Lisa and asked if she would marry him. 56-year-old Peter did not remember that he was already married and that Lisa was his only wife. Three years ago, Peter, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s, gradually forgot everything. Even that he is married.
He had forgotten when he met Lisa for the first time, when he held her hand and when they got married. Lisa, 54, told CNN it was heartbreaking. He said that we have created new memories but it is sad to forget the old days. She said, ‘I want to remember the old days with Peter but he doesn’t remember anything.’ It’s been 12 years since Peter and Lisa met each other as neighbors in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. At that time both were married and were busy raising their children but gradually both came closer to each other.
Forgetting keys and purses started
When Lisa was asked what she liked best about her husband. With tears in his eyes, he said, ‘I love the way he loves me’. Lisa said, ‘Peter is very kind and romantic. He has always been passionate about our relationship and me. The two got married in 2009 after Lisa moved to Connecticut.
Lisa told, ‘She saw that some changes are coming from her husband. It all started when he started forgetting his keys and then his purse. Sometimes he used to forget words, due to which sometimes he had problem in speaking. She was comforting herself that this is happening only because she is getting old.
Research revealed how serious the disease
Lisa said, ‘Initially only I knew this, but then the family members also started discussing about it, then I realized its seriousness. Those people who had not seen Peter for a long time saw something wrong with Peter. After a long investigation, Alzheimer’s disease was confirmed in Peter on 30 April 2018. She said that when I started doing research, I realized that it is going to have a deep impact on our lives and can take away my husband from me. Due to illness, Peter forgot everything and all the old memories of the couple were lost on Peter’s side.
nothing can separate us
Peter and Lisa were watching a TV program on 12 December 2020. Lisa started crying after seeing a wedding scene on TV. Peter looked at him and started laughing. Pointing to the scene on TV, Peter said to Lisa, ‘Come on, let’s do it.’ Lisa asked, ‘What do you do?’ Peter replied, ‘Let’s get married.’ He did not know that he was proposing his wife for marriage. Lisa said that it was a very happy moment for me because he had loved me again. I am the luckiest girl in the world. Lisa said that we will be together till the end and nothing can separate us, nothing.
