Why I love Nick

Jul 16, 2008 22:54

Nick and I began as friends, at first neither of us realized that deep inside we were fighting feelings for each other. My problem was the age difference, his problem was facing life in prison. He was always so kind and loving toward everyone. He never wanted to ruffle feathers, you see he would always be the one to sacrifice things for himself to avoid any type of negativity between him and others. He was always so polite and well mannered and I was drawn to the way he loved and cared for his mother. And he always seemed to fight for the under dog. Saying, "She is so sweet she just needs attention", protecting people from others saying things like I just don't like her, she's annoying. When people really made him upset he would just get them with intelligent talk.

Like once this man kept hitting on me, this is after we began seeing each other, and Nick just went over and said constant persistence is not the way to get a beautiful woman to go out with you, leaving the man speechless. He didn't come over like jealous boyfriend fighting for his property.

He has let me be my own person and has let me make my own decisions. He always tried to understand me not judging me on my past mistakes. And the way he looked out for his little brother was so impressive. He always put others first even when he had more then enough reason to be selfish.

As we prepared for the trial he wrote me a letter and gave one to his brother to open ONLY if he got the full 60 years and he wanted him to read it to his family. It contained plans for the family to tell the younger kids that he had died in a car accident and told the family how visits would not be good for anyone and how wonderful and thankful he felt for everyone's help and support but urged them to go on with their lives as if he had passed away. My letter told me to think of him as a wonderful dream I had had and do know that he would never stop loving me.

The day he left for his trial I stayed with him in the morning then when he came time to leave he gave me the letter and told me to not open it unless he was sentenced to life. He looked at me and started crying, b/c of the trial it was difficult for him to open up b/c he may have had to go away, so sometimes he held feelings back to spare me and himself, but mostly to spare me. He just looked at me and said I have so much I want to say to you. I saw the love in his eyes and just said I knew what he wanted to say. I felt it, he loved me. I tried not to read the letter and went to do laundry. I finally couldn't take it and I read it. Later that night I asked him to ask his mother if I could come up out of respect since it was a family issue. And as soon as she said Yes I was on my way down.

The one real reason I fell for Nick was his ability to give and keep giving. The love in his heart for everyone who takes the time to listen to him and believe in him. He expects nothing for what he does for you and is totally grateful for what you do for him. Although you may not know it he already loves you and Joe, he just loves that is what he does. Some sons look after their mothers but not like Nick does, he goes above and beyond what any son would do for their mother. Even when he was angry with his mother for leaving his dad, he never skipped a beat, he always hugged and kissed his mother and still to this day would die for her and anyone he loves. Nick loves and he gives that is who he is. There is not one mean bone in his body.

Everyone says things happen for a reason I think God knew Nick needed the military to make it in prison if it wasn't for that training he would never have made it through the first month without killing himself.. Once he told me he had thought about driving his mothers Kia off the biggest cliff he could find...Do you know why he didn't do it? His mother, he knew it would kill his mother. To him his life was over he had lost everything but he chose to live in misery for his mother.

And that is why I love Nick.
