ONE NIGHT AFTER ALONG DAY , I HAD GONE TO BED UPSET . I HAD BEEN CRYING AND WAS LAYING THERE WITH MY EYES CLOSED TRYING TO GATHER MY THOUGHTS . I FINALLY GOT TIRED AND DECIEDED TO CALL IT A DAY . AS I RELAXED TO TRY TO SLEEP I FELT SOME ONE WALK INTO MY   ROOM , I COULD TELL IT WAS A ADULT , I DIDNT THINK ANYTHING OF IT , I GUESS IT WAS MY HUSBAND COMING TO BED LATE AS HE SOMETIMES DID AFTER FALLING TO SLEEP FIRST ON THE SOFA WATCHING TV , HE DID THIS ALOT , SO IT WAS NORMAL FOR ME TO BE IN THE BED FIRST . I STILL LAYED THERE WITH MY EYES CLOSED WAITING ON HIM TO GET IN THE BED . WONDERING WHY HE HAD WALKED OVER TO MY SIDE OF THE BED , I STILL JUST LAY STILL , I FELT A HAND AS IT LAYED DOWN ON MY BACK , I SAID COME ON TO BED ,  AS I SPOKE I FELT THE HAND MOVE  , I TURNED TO LOOK , AND THERE WASNT A SOUL THERE . SCARED TO DEATH , I JUMPED UP RAN UP THE HALL THERE WAS MY HUSBAND ASLEEP ON THE SOFA . I THOUGHT HE HAD PLAYED A TRICK ON ME , HE SWORE HE HAD NOT BEEN AWAKE OR UP , WHICH AFTER THE SHOCK WORE OFF I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT , HE HAD BEEN IN A DEAD SLEEP AND JUMPED WHEN I A WOKE HIM . I KNEW SOME ONE WAS THERE ,  WHO EVER IT WAS  , CAME TO COMFORT ME WHEN I WAS DOWN , SO IT ISNT ALWAYS A BAD THING  , I FELT AS IF I  HAD A PROTECTOR .
