rozenwyn -> Men do remember anniversaries (11/22/2008 11:15:21 AM)
|
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 and 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 wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his 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 from is coffee, 'Do you remember 20 years ago
when we were dating, 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 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 his 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 will 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.'
