Beautiful and sad story at the same time.

Through the sadness let SRC help you keep your loved one at home to experience some more “agains”.

(CNN) – A Connecticut couple renewed their vows after the husband, who has Alzheimer’s disease, forgot they were married but fell in love and proposed all over again.

 

Peter Marshall, 56, proposed to Lisa Marshall as the two cuddled on the couch in December 2020. What he didn’t realize is they had already gotten married – 11 years prior.

 

Since his diagnosis with early-onset Alzheimer’s three years ago, Peter Marshall’s memory has been fading, and he often forgets Lisa Marshall is his wife. The two were married in 2009 after an eight-year, long-distance relationship.
