This Woman’s Husband Developed Amnesia And Forgot Her: ‘Do You Know Who I Am?' | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@ZaneDoug711]

wish they would have gone into how and when he actually regained his memory, and what his experience was when regaining it. Seems like an incomplete news report.

[@krissy012p]

Me too. I have a lot of questions!

[@frubi_83]

Zane Ehnes agreed

[@elijahgonzales2754]

I have all the answers

[@nikkistahr7105]

Zane Ehnes exactly

[@sweetox_9690]

He didn't. That's the whole point. Didn't you hear them joking about how he is bitter about not remembering Disney Land?

[@ATrueLoveOfficial]

His wife really took their marriage vows seriously. And the way he looks and holds her hand shows that he is really grateful that his wife didn't leave her. That she continues to love him despite the fact that he completely forgot everything.

[@fatcat1626]

no days wives dont do that . wish we all took thing more seriously

[@cornyconnie.]

As we ALL should! God bless us all!

[@batsparentsdied]

Most women don't, pretty pathetic

[@anna-kaygreen5957]

I would almost die inside if I was in her case. Wow!! I love how he holds her hands. They are a great couple. I pray the marriage last.

[@aprildannettegosa5381]

Anna-Kay Green she probably did but she loved him and had faith enough to not let him walk they will survive this he may not remember details but he knows her again and loves her

[@diedriegibbs6938]

They need to write a book, omg I would definitely read this. The way he looks at his lovely wife, is the way I look at Jamaican food, so in love. Lol

[@aprildannettegosa5381]

I am glad she did not listen to him saying they should divorce and that she stood firm that tells me they will overcome this they already have because they are happy and not depressed about what he does not have but thankful for what they do have

[@Jesusiskingofkingslordoflords7]

I cried instantly when I had heard what the wife had to say to her husband. That's what real love truly is.

[@alissagonzales735]

It happened to my son in 2016 at age 45. He got to hospital and was pronounce dead. They had kept him on life support for his family to arrive. Plus they were hoping for him to be donated. Well he survived but he has forgotten most of his life, but remembers about and hour before his life changed forever.. He forgot he had a family. For some reason he remembered his father and me. It has been a long road for him. But he is making a new life and new memories. His wife and him are still together and are happy.

[@lenay3054]

When she said “my heart dropped” at the beginning, mine did as well 💔 praiseGod that he is alright and they are together and in love (((:

[@rhodaw7843]

Its obvious she's committed to him and he's in love! Praise God they looked to Him!

[@kdawson8981]

I am so sorry. I had a TBI which left me with epilepsy and some memory loss. It was quite frustrating knowing I have memory limitations. It will get better, even if he doesn’t regain lost memories, the acceptance of the deficit gets easier. Hugs and prayers to you.

[@godnyx117]

I'm so sorry about that! How are you doing?

[@princesssk4985]

"In sickness and in health" wow..

[@mariafitts]

I can totally relate. I don’t remember who my husband is.

This was such a good story. Love how she didn't give up on him and how they can joke about a serious situation.

[@queenof2kings299]

I love how he looks at her... nothing but love

If you say so honey. *Smh* Interesting how you say that "forgetting about God" is the problem with America today...….very funny considering the majority, if not all, of the countries with a better quality of life than here in the states are also less religious than us as well.

[@powergirl7619]

Jen Tuesday "Honey"I am only speaking about home!They took prayer out of school and kids went crazy.It's fine if you don't believe in God that's you.I was only agreed with the husband and wife because it is true..God is real abd it is sad to me that you don't believe in him.Also the other countries want to come here!!!Smh

[@veronicabridge896]

Powergirl 76 Only poor countries want to go to USA. Sweden, Germany, UK don't as we have free healthcare and Education. As well as religious freedom to believe in God or not.

[@jennifergonzalez8706]

Omg! I love this couple!💞 they remind me of me and my husband. We have gone through some serious crap in the 15 years that we have been together (well nothing as bad as the Gonzales family) but we never left each other's side. When we said our vows 11 years in front of our lord Jesus Christ, we truly meant them and take marriage extremely serious. That's how it should be. Yes it's very hard at times, but our love for each other is very unbreakable. God bless this wonderful couple and their family 🙏✝️.

[@Ela.elizabeth]

Jennifer Gonzalez - That's great, but don't kid yourself... there's no such thing as unconditional love except, if you're lucky, from your mother. He can pick up and leave or cheat at any time... you think you know a person until you don't. All I'm saying is don't invest your happiness in another person, you gotta be complete on your own. Don't think it'll never happen to you because statistically, there's a 1 in 2 chance that it will.

No judge would have signed off on a divorce anyway. With the condition Adam was in, he was no more capable under the law of getting a divorce than he would have to get married.

[@jennifergonzalez8706]

Sorry, don't want to be mean but, I just have to say that I am so so glad that she is no longer on T.V.! I think she is a terrible host! She hardly lets people talk especially when she just asked them a question, she just cuts them off like she's heard enough and doesn't care about what people have to say! Especially when she was asking the doctor some questions, you can tell that he had more to say but she just cuts him off and left him with a look of confusion. Poor guy. Anyway don't really like her. She needs to take lessons and learn to be a better host!

[@cejadj]

THIS IS SOOOOO SAD AND SWEET, HOPE HES DOING BETTER, PRAYER😘😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!!

[@madreep]

My uncle had brain surgery many years ago and he's really forgetful sometimes. And I always used to mess with him about it, it was our running joke because I would make a joke about whatever it was and he would tell me well I had brain surgery lol. And then coincidentally I was diagnosed with a brain tumor 6 years ago and I also had brain surgery and now I'm just as forgetful as he is. And now he teases me lol. It's a short term memory problem and it's strange because I can remember everything in my childhood but I will forget something from 5 minutes ago. And it's always the most random things. And we all laugh about it because what else can you do? We're a hot mess! My uncle is not biologically related to me, he married my dad's sister many years ago so it really was coincidental that we happened to both have the same type of tumor 10 years apart. And we live in different states so I don't believe that it was necessarialy an environmental cause. It's just one of the most common types of tumors that adults can have in the brain.

Oh, and my best friend makes me give her my wallet and keys whenever we go anywhere because I ALWAYS lose them 😂

Sarah Choi Good for you! Surround yourself with people who encourage you and vice versa

[@mumstheword8851]

Laughter- the best medicine!! (isn't that something from Readers' Digest?) My mother has recently been diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's. She tries to laugh a lot. Yesterday morning I picked her up to go to church and then our home for the rest of the day. Before the service started she went to the bathroom. On coming back to her seat she saw me, brightened up and said 'Hi darling, did I say good morning and give you a hug yet?' I was startled for a second (it's hard getting used to it) and she must have noticed and said 'Oops, I have, haven't I?' Then, tongue in cheek she started to laugh...…. I said ' Yes Mum, I picked you up' So we had a laugh. She knows that's the best way to cope. Take her pill, laugh and trust the Lord for the road ahead! The wonderful thing is, though, that spiritually, as a Christian, (i.e. her love for the Lord, knowledge of her Bible, speakers and sermons etc) she's fine and loves to tell the 'Old folks' (her words!) around her about Jesus. Still a missionary at heart! So yes, I'll stop now and wish you both many years of fun ahead and that laughter may lighten the load!

Play on play’a! Jk ...TBI are serious business. They can affect you years down the road. Working as a Psych Nurse for years, I recall the question- “Has your loved one ever suffered from a serious brain injury in the past”? In fact, it was probably the first question asked with every initial family visit after their loved one was in our care for a few days. Pertinent information.
