Andrew believed he was in 1993 \- meaning he had lost his memory of a huge chunk of his marriage as well as the birth of his children. Kristy explained: ...He knew me, but I could see him looking through me. I tell you, that's the scariest day of my life. ...Seeing him look through me like that, I didn't know how I was going to get him back.... But the determined wife wasn't about to let the love of her life slip through her fingers, so stayed by his bedside as he recovered in the ICU. ...They said we couldn't room together and I begged them and begged them,... she recalled. ...Just sitting and holding his hand was better for both of us.... As Andrew's condition continued to improve, Kristy convinced hospital staff to push their beds together so she was always nearby. He knew me, but I could see him looking through me. I tell you, that's the scariest day of my life. Kirsty Mackenzie And miraculously, the couple's closeness seemed to help the dad heal. The 58-year-old slowly began to recall the 29 years of his life that had been taken away from him with the support of his adoring wife. Kristy said: ...Everything seemed to click. I kept telling them, he would be better as long as we were together. ...I said, ...If you let us be together, he will get better.' And that's when it started coming around.... Their dual near-death experience had only made their love for each other grow stronger \- leaving Kristy determined to marry Andrew again. She supported the keen motorcyclist through his grueling three weeks of recovery before he was allowed home on July 10. Finally free from relying on their walking aids, Andrew seized the opportunity to get down on one knee for a second time during their annual family beach vacation to North Carolina...s Outer Banks. Just two days later on August 29, the infatuated couple renewed their vows in the presence of their children and grandchildren \- with their son-in-law officiating the family affair. ...PERFECT' PAIR Andrew described their second wedding as ...perfect... while praising Kristy for helping him pull through after their horror crash. He said: ...I don't know how we could have survived it. I can't imagine us going that far in the air and being able to survive. ...I never would've made it without her. I've always said, ...You've got to have a purpose and hope in life'. ...And for me, the love of my life is Kristy, but also, I go to work to provide and make things better for our kids and grandkids. I've got hope and purpose.... Kristy added: ...I don't think anything can stop us. Even a car hitting us didn't stop our love. ...I hope it shows others to love like you mean it, and never give up on love or each other.... Despite their heart-warming love story, the pair still can't escape being teased by their two daughters, Lorelai, 31, and Amanda, 30. Read More on The US Sun
