In Marietta, Ohio, a real-life version of the popular Nicholas Sparks novel, The Notebook, has been playing out between James Seevers and his wife, Jane, who is suffering from dementia.

MARIETTA, Ohio, Mar. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In Marietta, Ohio, a real-life version of the popular Nicholas Sparks novel, The Notebook, has been playing out for several years now. James Seevers, 87, spends as much time as he can with his 83-year-old wife, Jane, visiting her daily while she resides in a dementia care unit at the local nursing home. James still lives at home with the help of Comfort Keepers who drive him to visit his wife.
Moved by the husband's devotion and their upcoming 64th wedding anniversary, Joanie Yeomans, owner of the Comfort Keepers franchise location in Marietta, Ohio, contacted the brand and asked for it to honor the Seevers as part of its 20 Years, 20 Wishes celebration. The celebration is commemorating the company's 20th anniversary by granting 20 wishes to clients and caregivers across the system throughout the year.
Comfort Keepers helps seniors and adults maintain their independence and quality of life. As one of the world's largest in-home senior care organizations, Comfort Keepers brings joy and receives joy in return from its clients every day. Being present with his wife daily brings both James and Jane joy of the most tangible kind. Assisting the Seevers to keep their love alive is an excellent example of Comfort Keepers fulfilling its mission.
Comfort Keepers surprised the Seevers with their 64th-anniversary dinner. When they walked into the Harmar Place Extended Care's coffee shop had been transformed into a private dining room where there was candlelight, flowers, the couple's favorite prime rib dinner, and a pianist who played just for them. The Seevers were joined by their daughter and son-in-law, granddaughter and great-granddaughter who celebrated the event with them. The couple was surprised and overjoyed by the dinner.
"While providing transportation for James to and from Jane's nursing home, we have been blessed to observe true love. The kindness, mutual respect, and compassion they show one another is a model for us all to follow." says Comfort Keepers Owner, David Yeomans.
