If you’re cynical about true love, let this story remind you that it exists.
That cynicism may have come from your past painful experiences.
We all go through that, and the pain seems like we can’t escape it anymore.
The good news is you will, and you can, and someday someone will make you believe in love again – the truest kind.
What does true love look like or feel like?
It could look or feel like a lot of things.
The closest answer we could get is that of our grandparents or parents.
They sure tell the most heartwarming of all love stories and remind us how true love comes at the perfect time.
For Kristy and Andrew Mackenzie, true love was falling in love with each other all over again.
The couple from Virginia has been married for 37 years and counting.
For these two, love was all about cherishing the time they spent together, and most of it, they enjoyed while on the road.
Andrew drives the motorcycle, and he has taken Kristy on different adventures.
But what a nightmare it was when the one thing they enjoyed took their life into a difficult turn.
The couple figured themselves in a fatal accident last June when they hit a car that ran the red light. Witnesses said the couple was thrown out of their bike 50 feet across the pavement. Andrew was unconscious, while Kristy had severe injuries.
They were in the hospital for days, and Kristy worried about her husband.
The couple had the same injuries: internal bleeding, punctured lungs, broken bones, and concussions. However, Andrew was unconscious longer, and Kristy was in a wheelchair waiting for him to wake up. When he finally did, she did not expect their nightmare to continue.
Andrew woke up three days later thinking it was still 1993.
It was like all the 29 years that have passed were erased. He didn’t recognize his daughters Lorelai and Amanda, and all he could utter was, “where is my wife?”
“We could tell him over and over a few things, and then an hour later, it was like repeating everything,” Amanda told ABC7.
The doctors assured them that his memory would go back, and what saved him was his wife.
His first memory was of Kristy in a wheelchair by his side. Kristy insisted they stayed in one room when the nurses said they couldn’t. She was persistent, and they finally gave in. Good thing they did because it was the start of him jogging back his memories.
Kristy said that within 24 hours, he became like his old self again.
Andrew started asking her questions, trying to remember important things. Slowly, his memory recovered along with his body. Eleven days later, both Kristy and Andrew were able to walk again.
The family went on a vacation right after, and Andrew popped the questions for the second time.
He knew his wife was his one true love and would ask her to marry him over and over again, even if he lost his memory. Kristy, of course, said ‘yes.’ The two renewed their vows with their children and respective families a few days later.
