Married Couple Date Again After Accident Wipes Wife's Memories
Jeff and Angela Hartung are still getting to know each other. Even though this married couple has been together for over 17 years, but Angela can’t remember at least 15 years of her life.
Angela was crossing the street in New York City when a car struck her. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and was left in a coma for a month. When Angela finally woke up, she thought she was still married to her first husband and that her children were just 2 and 8 years old. In reality, her first husband had passed away many years ago and her children were actually adults.
One worst of all, Angela had no memory of her current husband, Jeff. She did not remember ever meeting or marrying the man that she had been with for almost 2 decades. A lot of people may have given up, but Jeff saw this as a blessing. "How many times have we said, 'I wish I could go back and do something over again?' I've gotten to do that," he said.
To start off, he put up pictures of their life together all over the house. Then, he decided to start dating his wife again. They learned to get to know each other all over again and Jeff never left her side.
Angela eventually fell in love with this amazing man all over again and they decided to celebrate their love in a special way. They renewed their vows in front of all their family and friends and it’s truly a love story like no other. What an incredible example of love and marriage.
