Erich and his entire family, including his mother Donna SchwerHe and his sister. Elise Schwer, were candid with Gabby about Allan’s health struggles on Monday’s episode.
“He was legitimately supposed to die, like, three times,” Erich told Gabby. “And it was like, really, really hard to come to terms with and I actually came [to this spot] with him when he was talking about, like, how long — he thought he had a year. And he was like, ‘You take care of your mother.’ And that was the first time that I, like, really cried from all that. It’s been a journey. The only thing that truly matters is the people. [kept]How loyal my mom was in that relationship and to him is what kept me going. She refused to give up. It’s a bond that they have that I think it’s really rare to come by. I need you to meet with them. And I need them to meet you in order to move forward with this.”
After they met, Erich told the cameras that his dad “really likes Gabby,” which is a “huge sign” for him.
“It’s important to have that feeling, like, you couldn’t live without them,” Erich’s mom added. “And we marry for life. Don’t take it lightly, OK? It’s an important decision.”
Allan SchwerDuring her own chat with Gabby, Erich’s mother gushed about her spouse and reiterated her comments about commitment.
“You can’t not love Allan. He’s a great guy. I just want to make sure that you guys — if you decide anything, that commitment [in] my family is really important,” Donna said. “We don’t give up on each other. You can’t quit — ever. … We’ll be married 35 years, and we’ve been through a lot. You always have to stay together and be together, always.”
