My Knight - Oh how I adore Thee

I called my sweetie this evening at the normal time - he didn't answer. I figured he was in the bathroom, which 5 minutes later he called and that is precisely where he was. I was cooking my dinner (mexican style salad, no tortilla). He said to me he has something to say. I said "okay." He said he never wants me to doubt his love for me, or if we are fine (a question I sometimes ask too often - distance can play mindgames on you after a while). He then proceeded to tell me he is going to sell his car. It's parked at his parent's and he doesn't use it. He has no need for it to be honest living in the part of NY he does. I was like "okay." Then he said he is going to sell some of his comics. I started to cry.

You see, his passion is comics. He's been collecting them since he was a little boy. He has thousands of them. Some are worth a pretty penny, let me tell you. I asked him why. He said because he needs to have the money in his account to show immigration he can take care of me. Yes he makes enough per year, but doesn't really have anything in his accounts. Yes he has a 401K, but I am not sure that will count. So he's going to sell his "Hulk #181" which is the first appearance of Wolverine. It's in good condition, therefore is worth around 800 dollars. ANd he said he will go through his comics and sell a few others. I started to cry as I mentioned.

I told him I didn't want him to do that. I told him I didn't him to hold it against me in the future or regret his decision. And he said something to the effect of (I was really emotional so I can't remember his exact words) "I can buy them back one day, or you can buy them back for me one day. But I can only marry you once, and I don't want to risk losing that chance. You are more important."

I burst into tears telling him that has to be the sweetest thing he has ever said to me. I am trying not to cry right now as I write this. I just told my mom this like 30 minutes ago and was totally in tears.

He has already got 3 people interested in his car. One who will be going to see it tomorrow. The selling point was the fact it's EXCELLENT on gas. Twenty dollars a month was all he spent on gas for it and he used it everywhere!

So my baby... My Knight in shining Superhero armor is doing this so he can, as he said to me to tell my mom... "so I can afford my wife."

*starts crying*

We have had our issues... BIG issues, but I always knew there was a reason I kept holding on for us to be together. He's the sweetest man I know and I love him with all my heart and soul. I can't wait for the day I am finally his wife and never have to let him go. never have to leave him again. Never have to say good-bye, except when we are going out with our own friends or off to work. I miss him so very much. I hope these next few months fly by. And that by christmas or January, I will be there, married to him and finally have my BIGGEST dream come true.
