A woman awakes during the night to find that her
husband was not in their 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 him. He appears
deep in thought, just staring at the
wall. She watches as he wipes a tear
from his eye and takes a sip of
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, "Do you
remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 17?" he asks
solemnly.
The wife is touched thinking her
husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do," she replies.
The husband pauses. The words are not
coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back
seat of my car?"
"Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair
beside him.
The husband continues..."Do you
remember when he shoved a shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my
daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years".
I remember that too", she replies softly.
He wipes another tear from his cheek
and says... "I would have gotten out today"
