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
of 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?"
"Do you remember when I met you and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly.
The wife is touched to tears thinking that 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, making love?"
"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."
