This is the unusual story of Clive and Deborah Wearing.

They met in London in 1978. Deborah was from the USA,

but she lived and worked in London. Clive studied at

Cambridge University and then he worked as a musician.

They fell in love and married in 1984. They were very

happy. But on Wednesday 27th March 1985, Clive Wearing

got very ill and lost his memory. He only remembered

things for a few seconds. He could play the piano and he

knew Deborah's face, but he couldn't remember her name.

Life was very difficult for them. It was a sad time. Deborah

sold their flat in London and moved back to the USA. Clive

went to live in a hospital. Deborah often came to England

to visit Clive and they had a good time together. He played

music and wrote a diary. Every time she left, she said,

'Remember I love you'. And every time he saw her again,

Clive fell in love with her again. Their new life was very

different. Clive couldn't remember his past, but he was

happy in the present.
