I easily get caught up in young love. The daily spats and happy endings. I am always looking for a little more authenticity. Danny & Annie, an elderly couple from Brooklyn will show you, in five minutes, that true love and adoration are the answer. The video will also make you cry like a big baby. A really big, chubby baby.
Danny & Annie from StoryCorps on Vimeo.
A little background from VSP, "Produced by StoryCorps, a nonprofit that goes around the country, in distinctive aluminum trailers, recording the stories of anyone who wants to talk, the film features recordings by Danny and Annie Perasa, who had been married for 27 years. These two tell, over animated scenes, how they met, how he proposed, how he’s a prolific love-letter writer and eventually how he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Though the animation can be a bit campy, the recordings are amazing: They’re genuine but poetic, with humor, sadness and plenty of wisdom. There’s probably more to learn about love in this little movie than in the entire canon of romantic movies."

I remember hearing Danny and Annie on NPR. I felt the same way.
