Jack Potter, 91, has been married to Phyllis Potter, 93, for over 70-years, after meeting her at a wartime dance in 1941. Sadly, now Phyllis suffers from dementia. So what does Jack do? Comes to visit her everyday at her care home and reads to her from the diaries he’s kept through their entire marriage and shows her pictures of them together to remind her of their love. Wow, they sure don’t make them like they used to.
