Subject: FW: Back at you, Brother....
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is 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 hot cup of
coffee in front of him.
He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.
She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip
of his coffee.
'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps in to
the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night?
The husband looks up from his coffee, 'It's the 20th
Anniversary of the day we met'.
She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.
The husband continues, 'Do you remember 20 years ago
when we started dating? I was 18 and you were only 16,'
he says solemnly.
Once again, 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 were not coming easily.
'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back
seat of my car?'
'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself in to 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 will send you to prison 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!!!'
