StoryCorps records true stories as told by real people and then brings them to life with animation. Always a Family is the heartbreaking story of a father who called his family on the morning of September 11 from the 103rd floor of the North Tower to say goodbye. 

Ten years later, Monique Ferrer remembers her ex-husband Michael Trinidad, in this short animation directed by the Rauch Brothers.

Watch She Was the One, another moving film from StoryCorps' 9/11 Series.

Thanks to Short of the Week for recommending the video.
