To all who were kind enough to comment on this Video, Annie thanks you. She does not have a computer and only sees your comments when she visits our house. She is doing well & is kept busy by her family & friends ( of which I am lucky enough to be one of ) Again she says & I quote " Again I thank you for all your comments which keep me going and Danny would have loved it." Also she says " As Danny would have said, Couldn't hurt ya. Love you all & Thank You "
Leroy Brown Thank you for the update. And to Annie: I'm still so saddened by your loss, but heartened to know there's such love in the world. I hope you're doing wonderfully.
That is conceivably the best line I have ever heard about love: "The only thing I have to give you is a poor gift, and it's myself." Hit me right in the gut. *Sniffle*
I think what some people don’t seem to understand is... you don’t “want” a relationship like this. You WORK for a relationship like this. If you want it, work for it. It will happen. Love like this is earned by loving.
Danny said it wonderfully, "When a man is happily married, there is a shelter when you get home." Marriage should be like a colored TV set, not a dead end.
Ain't that the truth. This month, I discovered that a person had stolen from me. I still wish this experience for that same individual, it ascends over material boundaries.
I have Annie this week as a house guest, because I only know her about 45 years. Danny was one of my closest friends. With that said, Annie is standing next to me reading your post and wishes you a lifetime of Health & Happiness.
It breaks my heart to find out that Annie passed away earlier this year from Covid-19. Once in a while, I find myself coming back to this story for the sole reason of how it touches my heart, and now makes me cry. Both Danny and Annie sound like they were lovely people, and had a marriage that was beautiful and full of love. I'm not fully sure or a believer of there being somewhere or something after we pass on, but if there is I hope that the two of them are together again and very happy. Rest in Peace Annie and Danny Perasa.
If you are a Muslim, you will know what will happen after death and where we go. I hope you will read about Islam, and then believe me, you will change. I ask God to guide you
It is with a very heavy heart that I have to tell you that Annie passed away recently. Her Love for Danny never faded through the years and now they are together again, forever. She will be missed but the memories she left us will live for the rest of our lives.
You say it's unobtainable now and I get what you mean. Love for us is like a game, really. Exclusivity is hard to come by sometimes. But I truly hope you're wrong. I don't want to live like this the entirety of my life. I need an Annie to my Danny.
Annie and Danny met when they were super young and got married. Millennials date and break up. Unless you marry your first love, forget it (my skeptical opinion)
randomuploadsism: your opinion is respected, though I’ll respond with mine: I don’t really think it started with millennials. I think it’s always been there - just for different reasons. Sometimes society forgets how to court. Sometimes society loses a valuable component of love, like commitment. Sometimes society tells you to do something because it’s proper, regardless of whether or not you feel the same way. But that’s always been there, no one can truthfully say it hasn’t. What’s different in this day and age is that we’re more aware of it - yet we do nothing. If anything, we’re now a society full of cynics and pessimists who see and don’t think it possible. A vicious cycle continues. But, with that in mind, Danny and Annie found each other despite those odds. And so have many others before them - and after them. This is just another shift. There will be those who can withstand the test of time.
Eh, even in the older days a love like that is really rare. Marriage has never been this miracle worker... And the thing is, people are always looking for it in romance, but sometimes we have loves this strong with our friends and our family .
great... i regret watching this on the train. now everyone is wondering why i'm crying with snot all over... I DON'T EVEN GOT A TISSUE YOU DAMN STORYCORPS
“I walked in with you alone, I’m walking out with you alone” Every time I watch this video I brace myself for this part and EVERY TIME it gets to this part I lose it and sob 😭
When I was in my early 20s, I made a naive, snobbish comment to a 40 year old that I could never date someone who hadn't graduated from college. He, a PhD student himself, said "You'll find as you get older that what really matters in a relationship is the person's capacity to love." I didn't fully understand what he meant, but it always stayed in my mind. Turns out he was 100% right. Wisest thing anyone has ever said to me.
“I walk in with you alone, I’ll walk out with you alone” And that’s when I started bawling my eyes out. I wish everyone could experience love like this. It makes me so happy that they were so perfect and strong for each other. This is probably the most joy I have ever felt in my life, and that is saying something. This life is not timeless, but that kind of love certainly is.
I wonder if Annie ever decided to move on and find someone else. Danny said that's what he wanted, but if I was in Annie's position, I would never in a thousand years. It would feel like a replacement.
Annie is still single. If you had her phone number & called her house today, the message says " Hi this Danny & Annie, won't you please leave a message " ???
I’m aromantic. I don’t “get romance”. I don’t get the grandiose gestures and all the things that are “supposed” to be done with dating and all that. But this… the little, almost mundane things done with incredible love… that’s love. At the end when Danny talks about the intimacy of Annie asking to put his hands on her shoulder or if he would like ice cream, I can feel, smell, I can taste the love behind each word. THAT’S how I experience love. In the small things done with great love. And I’ve tried dating and it makes me uncomfortable all the expectations and… something about it makes it inhospitable. But between my friends and family members, things like that are what move me the most. And here I am, crying as I type this because this is love. This is true love. And no movie or book can ever come close. Danny, Rest In Peace. You sound swell. Annie, I hope you’re doing alright. You two are the cutest couple there ever has been. Love to you both even though I’ve never met you. Thanks for sharing yourselves. I needed this
This made me tear up, this is a man who really truly loves his wife and a woman who truly dearly loves her husband. he worked to support his wife and though he could not give her extravagant gifts or a night out every week... he instead showed his love for her every single day by simply telling her and speaking with her. professing his love until the very end with pure honesty. Every word this man spoke was genuine. And when he needed her most, she was there for him. taking care of him and showing her love by supporting him until his passing. I hope he is in a better place and if she has passed at the point I have seen this video, that she is with him. I don't believe I've seen a love as strong as this, not for a very very long time. Bless these two, I hope they are enjoying their time wherever they may be now.
Been watching this for the nth time for years. Always leave me in tears. "In my mind and in my heart there has never been, there is not now and never will be another Annie"
This is the beauty of the project. This story was the 1st thing recommended to me by a work friend in 2012. I still come back to this same video regularly to remind myself of how beautiful this whole thing is.
It’s so hard to believe after falling in love with this and hearing Danny’s heartbreaking diagnosis, we’d lose Annie to a pandemic. But I hope where ever they’re at they’re together again. 🥺
“I walked in with you alone and I’ll walk out with you alone.” That was such a punch in the gut with me and it brought out the waterworks. Now that is a dedication of love.
I wish everyone felt the love Danny and Annie felt. The world would be a wonderful place. Annie, I send you all the condolences I can. Your story is incredible! xoxo
Watched this video 10 years ago. Learned a lot about love, but just what real love is, but how to express it. Started writing letters in my partners lunch box when she would go to work. She worked a lot earlier than me. And before each date, I would write her poems before we went out on date nights. Every letter I wrote always ended with I love you, I love you, I love you. So thanks old friend for your story and your guidance to show my everything how to express that love. You’ve left a great mark and lesson.
Rediscovered this today after several years. I don't know how many times I've listened to this story, but it makes me cry every time. Danny and Annie's story is beautiful because it's so real that in Danny's words "it stirs [the] heart". It makes me wish we had something like StoryCorps where I live.
It has been 12 years since this video was published, and every now and then I go back to watch this...I have a partner now whom I love very much....I am not as eloquent as Danny; I can't fully describe the feeling of having someone special in your life, other than life would be completely different without them. Until I met my boyfriend, I was a selfish young man who was only thinking of myself; but now I find myself asking my boyfriend the same things Annie would ask Danny " would you have a glass of water?"..little things like this... I never thought that a love like this could come into my life, and if this is the same or something similar to what Danny and Annie had, then I feel so lucky. They're together again in heaven, and I'm happy for them.
I remember the day this was posted… I was 19 and after all these years (31 going on 32) I GOTTA come back to this video multiple times a year. Beautiful story, a love we all could only wish to have. How this hasn’t been made into a movie is beyond me. Rare love
This story STILL makes me cry to this day. I found this video about 8-9 years ago and it still touches me. This is what I think of when I think of love. Thank you Danny and Annie 🥺💛
"It's like hearing a beautiful song from a busted old radio... and it's nice of you to keep the radio around the house." That was so well-worded I almost teared up on the spot.
Just the way they talked to each other felt... not spontaneous and active, but comfortable in how deeply in love they were. "Like... oh, you compared me to the sun and the blazing inferno of compassion with the light of a thousand welcoming campfires. I liked that." "Yeah, I was feeling romantic this morning." And then walking on with their days because it's both normal and appreciated.
From the day this video was published it has been one I never tire of watching or hearing. May you both Rest In Peace and love forever ❤️the world has now lost two of the greatest sweet people
A friend of mine introduced me to your channel. And I just had to watch everything on here. All these stories, these wonderful and sad memories. I'm truly taken aback right now. In all these years on youtube, I've never quiete seen a channel like this. Thank you so much for creating these magnificent videos.
I remember watching this as a child, around 13, and not being able to fully grasp the message behind this other than the beauty of their love. Now I am 25, pregnant with my first child, married and then divorced and now in the most loving relationship of my life and I can’t stop crying, partially because of the finality of life and partially because I realize now the love they truly had. I hope they are together wherever we end up after death
Love, when it's sincere and true, is a beautiful thing. It's so easy to forget that after awhile with all the _fakeness_ out there. Over the years, I always find myself coming back to this video to remind myself what love could be, and what it should be. Maybe... just maybe, someday I'll be lucky enough to have a love story like yours. 🤞💓
In my own life and marriage, I have strived to model myself on Danny’s example. I can think of no greater role model to follow. This man’s love has guided me and instructed me in how to love perfectly. In that way, he is alive and well, always.
I watched this years ago with my Husband and remember not being able to fathom that kind of pain. My husband passed away and the ache I feel now for her is so much different.
Man I just heard about StoryCorps today in my Oral History class, I click on the first suggested video to show my fiancé what I learned and now we’re both bawling our eyes out on the living room floor!!!
Lord almighty if this isn't the sweetest thing. It's so good to see things like this in these times we're living through, it reminds me that there is love in the world, and that good things still happen, and even though we may all be going through a dark time, there is still love and light in the world, and it will be found.
A simple honest story of real love. I can listen to this a million times and I will still feel the love of this couple. Rest in peace, Danny. You were a good husband. 💔
This reminds me a lot of my grandparents. My grandfather was diagnosed with dementia in 2019 and my grandmother with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the late 80’s. My grandfather did an amazing job saving up for her medical bills and was working in his own company when he was diagnosed. The last time they saw each other was February 14th 2020. I was there with my uncle, and they embraced and cried because they couldn’t be in the same facility together. That was the last time I saw him alive, he passed in his sleep January 2021. And ever since then, I visit my grandmother as often as I can. I also visit my grandfather’s grave and just talk to him. He always told us to “Always leave room for improvement.” If you made it here, thank you for letting me talk.
Every time I come back to this video, I watch it and I cry, no matter how many times and no matter over how many years. It is such a beautiful love story & so many of us thank you for sharing the gift of your love. 💕
If you accidently disliked this video, make sure you wait untill the video is over, wipe the tears out of your eyes, and make sure you dont miss the Like button next time.
The love that these two wonderful people had for each other was so beautiful that it makes me cry every time I think about it. I can only hope that I find someone who will love me half as much as Danny loved Annie. God bless them both :)
It is both thrilling and terrifying to know that I have found my Annie. Thrilling because we are building our lives together, and terrifying to know that one of us will make it to the grave first. But what a beautiful journey it will be
god watching this 10 years later what a beautiful story everyone had their own idea of what true love is but it there was a straight answer like a dictionary term there would just be a picture of danny and annie
I always come back to this beautiful video with these two beautiful souls. The love they have for each other makes me so happy and keeps me in better times when im down. Its going to be okay, for everyone.
To all who were kind enough to comment on this Video, Annie thanks you. She does not have a computer and only sees your comments when she visits our house. She is doing well & is kept busy by her family & friends ( of which I am lucky enough to be one of ) Again she says & I quote " Again I thank you for all your comments which keep me going and Danny would have loved it." Also she says " As Danny would have said, Couldn't hurt ya. Love you all & Thank You "

Full on tears.
When you truly love someone all you can give is yourself. Financial benefits are irrelevant
Freakin beautiful
I think what some people don’t seem to understand is... you don’t “want” a relationship like this. You WORK for a relationship like this. If you want it, work for it. It will happen. Love like this is earned by loving.

Nine years later
Who would dislike this!! Are they really serious? I was sad but now I'm just furious.
So beautiful!
Me too😔
9 years for me
Danny said it wonderfully, "When a man is happily married, there is a shelter when you get home." Marriage should be like a colored TV set, not a dead end.

We should all be so lucky to find a love like that.

Damn right.
Not luck. Their love was entirely due to their characters.
@@TraustiGeir Fuck whoever stole from you
What you say is so true if we all could find love like that the world would not be as horrible
danny is a poet
Yeah he's got a lot of beautiful words to say, and the thing is, he didn't even realize it.
He truly is
He was so humble he would probably say, “No I’m not.” But he had such a way with words.
This was the first video my boyfriend ever showed me almost 3 years ago....we are getting married this July.
congrats
I have Annie this week as a house guest, because I only know her about 45 years. Danny was one of my closest friends. With that said, Annie is standing next to me reading your post and wishes you a lifetime of Health & Happiness.

@ABOVE ALL I'm so sorry you had to find out this way :(
At least they’re happy together now. He was certainly waiting for her. Spending eternity with each other.
How do you know this? Sounds like fake news. What is your source?
@@Indianagirl1963 Well I saw another comment that mentioned her passing.

"Even down hill a car doesn't roll unless it's pushed. And you've given me quite a push." That one line is so heart warming.
It really illustrates how talented he was with words.
There will never be another Danny.
zombiepi my name is danny
I refute that everyone because i k ow there will be a nother person like him trust me
It is with a very heavy heart that I have to tell you that Annie passed away recently. Her Love for Danny never faded through the years and now they are together again, forever. She will be missed but the memories she left us will live for the rest of our lives.
I have not cried like this in ages. This was beautiful- I want this kind of love- I didn't think it even existed.
Not for the millenial generation. That kind of relationship is unobtainable.
You say it's unobtainable now and I get what you mean. Love for us is like a game, really. Exclusivity is hard to come by sometimes. But I truly hope you're wrong. I don't want to live like this the entirety of my life. I need an Annie to my Danny.
Annie and Danny met when they were super young and got married. Millennials date and break up. Unless you marry your first love, forget it (my skeptical opinion)

I feel you!! Haven't cried like this in a while :P
WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS IN MY ROOM. DAMNIT DUDE
I’m sorry!
"Danny died that same day" The coup de grace, I was holding back the tears so well but that finally got me.
Darn I hate looking at comments cause people like ya spoil it.
@@syph4927 then watch the damn video before you scroll your happy ass down to the comments to complain.
Danny probably realized that hundreds of people would send letters of condolences and she would have some form of support, so he could go easy.
“I walked in with you alone, I’m walking out with you alone”
Every time I watch this video I brace myself for this part and EVERY TIME it gets to this part I lose it and sob 😭

Same bro. As a fellow Aroace I feel that
Danny is the kind of husband I want to be. Loving, compassionate and honest. His love for Annie is one that cannot be faked. Rest In Peace good sir.

"Being married is like having a color television set. You never want to go back to black and white."

Jerry Hong Yes.
Same. First time seeing it. Comments a great
2019 and I'm bawling.
I want to continue watching these videos, but I don't want to leave this comment section... so full of love
Amen to this man who managed to find what many of us dream of having and never has he seemed to take it for granted.
305 people's eyes were so full of tears that they couldn't see the like the button and ended up disliking it
This 💯💯💯
It's amazing how a short 5 minute video about two people you've never seen or heard of before can bring tears to your eyes.
This is the beauty of the project. This story was the 1st thing recommended to me by a work friend in 2012. I still come back to this same video regularly to remind myself of how beautiful this whole thing is.
Why the hell did I watch this beautiful, tear-jerking video right before work? This was too precious.
It’s so hard to believe after falling in love with this and hearing Danny’s heartbreaking diagnosis, we’d lose Annie to a pandemic. But I hope where ever they’re at they’re together again. 🥺
“I walked in with you alone and I’ll walk out with you alone.”
That was such a punch in the gut with me and it brought out the waterworks. Now that is a dedication of love.
Annie passed away around 8:26 this morning, August 14th 2021. She will be greatly missed
Every time I feel down or blue I come and watch all the story corps videos. It's just helps me
I do the same thing. Every time I need a good cry I always revisit this video. It never fails to bring on the waterworks.
He not only loved Annie, he showed his appreciation of her and he never took her for granted. Danny was a true mensch with an open heart.
The man's voice smells like mist cologne that my dad used to wear.
I 100% understand what you mean by that lol
Tasya damn accurate
Tasya why would you say this..
What does that smell like?

I wish everyone felt the love Danny and Annie felt. The world would be a wonderful place.

I added this on my favorites playlist ten years ago. Now here I am, a decade older and still bawling from their love.
Rediscovered this today after several years. I don't know how many times I've listened to this story, but it makes me cry every time. Danny and Annie's story is beautiful because it's so real that in Danny's words "it stirs [the] heart". It makes me wish we had something like StoryCorps where I live.
Me too. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched this video - I cry every time.
To love someone so much, and to be so loved is something to aspire to.
Fuckin... Crying now.

I've watched this video around 5 or more times now, and it never fails to touch my heart and bring me to tears.

I still come back to this video from time to time to revisit Danny and Annie
I always come back to this video when I found it 11 years ago. and I still cry every time
I re-watch this video all the time. I cry every time I watch it. One of my favorite stories.
5th time watching this, i still cry
yep
This story STILL makes me cry to this day. I found this video about 8-9 years ago and it still touches me. This is what I think of when I think of love. Thank you Danny and Annie 🥺💛
I cry at the end of every single one of these friggin' things.

Just the way they talked to each other felt... not spontaneous and active, but comfortable in how deeply in love they were.
"Like... oh, you compared me to the sun and the blazing inferno of compassion with the light of a thousand welcoming campfires. I liked that."
"Yeah, I was feeling romantic this morning."
And then walking on with their days because it's both normal and appreciated.
From the day this video was published it has been one I never tire of watching or hearing. May you both Rest In Peace and love forever ❤️the world has now lost two of the greatest sweet people
His voice breaking was the absolute worst. :/
Serebanana Well he was dying, so...yeah..
A friend of mine introduced me to your channel. And I just had to watch everything on here. All these stories, these wonderful and sad memories. I'm truly taken aback right now. In all these years on youtube, I've never quiete seen a channel like this. Thank you so much for creating these magnificent videos.
When I feel lost romantically, I try to watch this video. To remember that true love exists. It’s rare. But it exists.
Every few years I Come back and I rewatch this video and never ceases To fill my eyes with tears.
I remember watching this as a child, around 13, and not being able to fully grasp the message behind this other than the beauty of their love. Now I am 25, pregnant with my first child, married and then divorced and now in the most loving relationship of my life and I can’t stop crying, partially because of the finality of life and partially because I realize now the love they truly had. I hope they are together wherever we end up after death
Love, when it's sincere and true, is a beautiful thing. It's so easy to forget that after awhile with all the _fakeness_ out there.
Over the years, I always find myself coming back to this video to remind myself what love could be, and what it should be.
Maybe... just maybe, someday I'll be lucky enough to have a love story like yours. 🤞💓
8 years later and I still cry like a baby when I listen to this. This is kind of love I hope I'll be lucky enough to share with someone.
I come back here when I need a good cry. Thank you for the story.
REST IN PEACE DANNY
This is both uplifting and heartbreaking. Everyone wishes for a love like this.
❤💔
In my own life and marriage, I have strived to model myself on Danny’s example. I can think of no greater role model to follow. This man’s love has guided me and instructed me in how to love perfectly. In that way, he is alive and well, always.
Man
8 years later and this still puts a tear in my eye.This is truly a beautiful story! Sleep easy Dannie
I watched this years ago with my Husband and remember not being able to fathom that kind of pain. My husband passed away and the ache I feel now for her is so much different.
If only one day I can find a person to love, just as much as they loved each other.
Man I just heard about StoryCorps today in my Oral History class, I click on the first suggested video to show my fiancé what I learned and now we’re both bawling our eyes out on the living room floor!!!
Lord almighty if this isn't the sweetest thing. It's so good to see things like this in these times we're living through, it reminds me that there is love in the world, and that good things still happen, and even though we may all be going through a dark time, there is still love and light in the world, and it will be found.
A simple honest story of real love. I can listen to this a million times and I will still feel the love of this couple.
Rest in peace, Danny. You were a good husband. 💔
This reminds me a lot of my grandparents. My grandfather was diagnosed with dementia in 2019 and my grandmother with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the late 80’s. My grandfather did an amazing job saving up for her medical bills and was working in his own company when he was diagnosed. The last time they saw each other was February 14th 2020. I was there with my uncle, and they embraced and cried because they couldn’t be in the same facility together. That was the last time I saw him alive, he passed in his sleep January 2021. And ever since then, I visit my grandmother as often as I can.
I also visit my grandfather’s grave and just talk to him. He always told us to “Always leave room for improvement.”
If you made it here, thank you for letting me talk.
I'm crying so hard right now😭😭😭😭I love this story
I'm literally crying......... How could anybody dislike this.........??
Every time I come back to this video, I watch it and I cry, no matter how many times and no matter over how many years. It is such a beautiful love story & so many of us thank you for sharing the gift of your love. 💕
yall, I have never cried at a youtube video in my life like this.
I thought love like this only existed in the movies. What a beautiful relationship...
Saw this like 1000 times and I still get choked up. The love they have is so rare and precious.
I’ve watched a few of these and this was the first one that literally made my burst into tears
If you accidently disliked this video, make sure you wait untill the video is over, wipe the tears out of your eyes, and make sure you dont miss the Like button next time.
I always come back to this story. It’s such a comfort. They seemed like absolutely golden people. Always brings a tear to my eye
The love that these two wonderful people had for each other was so beautiful that it makes me cry every time I think about it. I can only hope that I find someone who will love me half as much as Danny loved Annie. God bless them both :)
It is both thrilling and terrifying to know that I have found my Annie. Thrilling because we are building our lives together, and terrifying to know that one of us will make it to the grave first. But what a beautiful journey it will be
I really cried a lot with this video, i hope to some day love someone that much. Thank you very much.
Gotdamn onions...
Their love was just amazing, and the way they communicate and rely on one another is just incredible.
Love it
