Subject: A night to remember
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in bed.
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him
sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He
appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as
he wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
"What's the matter, dear?", she whispers as she steps into the room. Why
are you down here at this time of night?". The husband looks up from his
coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were
only 16?" he asks solemnly. "Yes I do" she replies. The husband paused.
The words were not coming easily.
"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car
making love?" "Yes, I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a
chair beside him.
The husband continued.. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in
my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send you to
jail for 20 years?"
"I remember that too" she replied softly. He wiped another tear from
his cheek and said, "I would have gotten out today".
