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 whisper's 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".
