Skin graft

A young married woman was once in a terrible accident, and though her life was not in danger, the skin of her face was severely burned.


The doctor told her husband that they would have to do a skin graft, but they could not graft any skin from her own body because she was too thin and her skin was dry.


So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.


However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks.


The husband and wife agreed to the graft, and that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and they requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.


After the surgery was completed, and the woman healed, everyone was astounded at her beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before with her lovely, soft skin.


All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her new youthful beauty! One night, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice.


She said, �Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you.�


�My darling,� he replied, �I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek!�
