who brought his wife Annie to StoryCorps
to talk about his love for her.
(Audio) Danny Perasa: You see,
the thing of it is,
I always feel guilty when I say
"I love you" to you.
And I say it so often.
I say it to remind you
that as dumpy as I am,
it's coming from me.
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.
Annie Perasa: If I don't have a note
on the kitchen table,
I think there's something wrong.
You write a love letter
to me every morning.
DP: Well, the only thing
that could possibly be wrong
is I couldn't find a silly pen.
AP: To my princess:
The weather outside today
is extremely rainy.
I'll call you at 11:20 in the morning.
DP: It's a romantic weather report.
AP: And I love you.
I love you. I love you.
DP: When a guy is happily married,
no matter what happens at work,

in the rest of the day,
there's a shelter when you get home,
there's a knowledge knowing
that you can hug somebody
