Memories

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 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 his 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?"

"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 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!."

what kind of name is wang c215?
Does this mean that there are 214 more of you wangs?
I see that you, and your meddling army of nitwit spammers have recently targeted my blog, and email for an all-out assault. I must warn you, that if it persists, I will track you down and exterminate you like the vermin you are.
Meanwhile, I prefer a user-unfriendly browser, and will not be visiting your blog, so ....up yours, you stinkin spammer.

It's never too late to start a new life when you can fake your own death.

The father should have shot him.
