During 70 years of marriage, Jack Potter has kept a diary. He had always taken notes about his days, but when he met Phyllis Clayson at a wartime dance in 1941, he had even more to write about. They fell in love with each other at first sight, and they have been together ever since.
Jack Potter was in the Royal Engineers at the time. When the dance ended, he couldn't wait to get back home and write, “It was a very nice evening. I danced with a very nice girl. I hope to meet her again.”
From that day on he kept brief notes of everyday events that happened in their life. They got married 16 months later. Then he worked in construction (建筑) and she worked as a typist.
They had no children but they had each other, and Jack Potter had his diaries. After 50 years of marriage, Phyllis moved into a care home because of dementia (痴呆).And that is where Jack Potter visits her every day.
Dementia may have robbed (使丧失) her of memories, but Jack Potter keeps them for her in his diaries. He reads them to her, shows her their photographs, and helps her remember the things they have done.
They have always been devoted to each other through these years of marriage, accepting whatever comes their way. She still meets him with open arms when he visits. He still reads her the memories her mind can no longer hold on its own.
