Peter remembers nothing except his love for his wife, Lisa
Peter, 56, and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 12 years. Although the Alzheimers had stolen Peter's memory of their first wedding, one thing the old man remembers clear as day is that he loves Lisa.
Speaking exclusively with NBC New York, Lisa shared that in 2020 an ever-deteriorating Peter had a surprising moment of clarity. The couple were watching a wedding on TV when Peter loudly exclaimed:
“Let’s do it”.
A startled Lisa happily agreed although she was not sure what he meant at first.
The couple share that they are doing well, even though Peter's memory continues to dwindle
Almost two months after their second wedding, Peter's condition continues to worsen but what he does remember is that there's a woman who loves him and cherishes him always.
“He doesn’t know that I’m his wife. I’m just his favourite person. I’m the luckiest girl in the world, I get to do it twice,” Lisa happily ended.
