"Danny & Annie" from StoryCorps

One of the first StoryCorps videos I stumbled upon when I started browsing after coming across their 9/11 series to capture a video for each life lost in the episode. After so many years and even though the story is still vivid in my mind, I couldn't help but tear up at the sound of Danny's voice narrating Annie's choice, "I walk in alone with you, I walking out with you alone."

As much as Danny sounded like a grumpy old man when you first hear him, but as the conversation goes on, you feel the love that quietly emits. The core of their love was nothing luxurious, just the confidence of companionship. Danny and Annie were fortunate to find their lifetime companion, that even in death could not do them part. Their love lives on.
