A woman awakes during the night to see that her husband is not in their bed. Donning her robe, she finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, in deep thought, staring at the wall. She watches him wipe a tear from his eye as he takes a sip of coffee.
'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here this late at night?'
The husband looks up and says, 'I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16. Do you remember back then?'
The wife, almost in tears herself, thinking how caring and sensitive her husband is, says, 'Yes, I do dear.'
The husband continues, 'Do you remember when your dad caught us in the back seat of my car?'
'Yes, I remember,' said the wife.
The husband continues. 'Do you remember when he shoved that 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.'
