A few weeks ago a fellow tweeter reminded us of this wonderful story and then the whole of the eastern seaboard cried big ugly snot-tears for the remainder of the evening. It's perfect, and it's real and it's the truest, most glorious love story you'll ever see.
As StoryCorps tell it:
"Danny Perasa and his wife, Annie, came to StoryCorps to recount their twenty-seven-year romance. As they remember their life together from their first date to Danny's final days with terminal cancer, these remarkable Brooklynites personify the eloquence, grace, and poetry that can be found in the voices of everyday people when we take the time to listen."
Watch it all the way to the end. You won't regret it.
