# As we first reported a couple years ago, Peter was diagnosed with early onset A lzheimer's. Eventually, he not only forgot his wedding day ; he forgot his wife. Lisa became just another nameless caretaker.
And yet, a whisper of their love must have remained because Lisa says all of a sudden, he began courting her as if they'd just started dating. Until one day, a wedding scene came on tv . Peter pointed to the screen and
said, " Let's do it."
And I said, "do what?" and he pointed again. and I said, " Do you want to
get married?!" And he got this grin on his face, and he said, "yeah." So,
he fell in love with me again.

# Lisa accepted his proposal and staged a wedding for her already husband.
I can't even describe to you how magical it was. He was so present, and
it was very touching.
Lisa says peter hadn't been this lucid in weeks , but i t was a Cinderella
moment. The clock struck 12, and by the next morning, this wedding, too,
was lost to the fog. But, Lisa says, she fully expected that.
I'm the one who's going to remember that and that's going to help me
heal later.

# Unfortunately, later came. Peter died about a year ago. Lisa's now

written a book called, " Oh, Hello Alzheimer's."

I want people to continue to find joy and really focus on being present

Do that, and Lisa says, Alzheimer's will never defeat you. I t'll just make
your love all the more invincible.
