Released Today

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in bed. e finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him.

He appears to be in deep thought. "What's the matter, dear?, Why are you down here at this time of night?"

The husband said, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 18?" he asks solemnly.

"Yes I do" she replies.

The husband "Do you remember when your father caught us in the garden?"

"Yes, I remember" said the wife,

The husband continued.. "Do you remember when he showed 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 been released today!"
