Looking for a Miracle

danimal875 · 07-13-2023, 10:48 PM

I am a man of great faith. I know this world we live in is a place of learning and above all else an expression of the pure love of God. My life has been an incredible journey. I lost my father at 3, but mother and her extended family and her boyfriends did amazing jobs filling the gaps.
I survived other childhood traumas, and disappointments, very well. I have always been good natured and considerate of others. I truly love this world. in 2020, I lost everything. Everything. For almost a year I lived in a place without a bathroom or a kitchen. And I learned to love that.
In 2021, on birthday, I got an email from a woman that I fell in love with instantly when I saw her in 2000. She had a boyfriend at the time, but we both felt the seismic energy. We dated briefly a year later between relationships and life but she could tell I could not settle down. She married a man in 2004 and they raised 2 children till 2021. As soon as their marriage ended, she contacted me. She had no idea it was my birthday. For the first time in years, I had hope.
When my marriage of 12 years ended, I would lay down on my living room couch in my old house and weep that we never had children of our own. I am the oldest of 28 grand children, and took for granted the joy of raising children. I don't think I've ever cried harder and truer for something. I felt like my wife and I missed the meaning of life.
On my birthday in 2021, my old love, came back to me. And she came back to me with 2 incredibly sweet and thoughtful children, aged 10, 12. The woman's name is Leah. And all 3 gave me all of their hearts. I was nobody, I was almost homeless. We have built a life since then, Ive lived with them at their parents house, I lived in an Oxford house, we have been through and conquered so many challenges. I used to own a construction business that grossed 1.5 million dollars a year, and now I am on food stamps, selling whatever is left of my collection just buy groceries.
One day, Leah and I were lying down together, just gazing into her eyes and I was thinking about asking her to marry me and she just started nodding yes...

We have true love. We have true love. I love God first, but we have true love. We have weathered so many storms already, and I know I will find a great job soon. But im asking this awesome forum, which has brought me so much joy. Can someone give me an engagement ring to give her? And emphasis on someone out there, who lost a true love, and its breaking their heart that the ring doesn't live on the finger of a woman who deserves true love. I swear on my soul that I would never sell it and if there was a problem I would return it.

Samsara and Nirvana are one.

Bruh, if this woman loves you so dearly she doesn’t care about receiving an engagement ring. Definitely not while living at her parents place.

I'm happy for you, but seriously, why are you begging someone to "give" you a ring? I don't mean to sound critical, but there are very nice brand new ones on ebay less expensive than the price of a turkey sandwich. Do you think she expects gold and diamonds?

If you really loved each other you wouldn't need a ring to prove it nor should you ever attempt to extort people by using the idiotic faith card.

BostonNut · 07-14-2023, 06:03 AM

You didn’t have nothing. You had something to receive an email on. Sell that and buy a ring.

I'm guessing you're both on the "large" side?

JosieD · 07-14-2023, 07:24 AM

I hope it all works out for you.

My husband lost is wedding ring and we didn't have any extra money at the time. I got us both rings that were less than $5 each and we wore those until we could save enough money to get his replaced. It's not so much about the ring but the meaning you place in it.

TheFrenzy · 07-14-2023, 10:04 AM

I can guarantee that this thread would have gone much better if OP had simply asked for a bit of help with groceries or if anyone could help him get hired. Blowout can be a generous place.

Or, maybe if he didn't have a history of buying and selling cards here through the entire time he's talking about.

I mean, he started a thread asking about buying 2003 EX basketball boxes in 2020, when he allegedly lost everything.

If I barely had a place to live, I probably wouldn't be looking for $5,000 boxes of basketball cards.

corndog · 07-14-2023, 10:39 AM

If she truly loves you an engagement ring shouldn't matter.

No the trick is dogs, my dog will die if I don’t get enough money for his operation. People are suckers when it comes to pets.

That’s because you don’t know the value of true love.

Deep, true love.

What's wrong with just getting a cheap silicone ring until you can afford a nicer one? If she can't accept that, then that's not love at all.

pejc300 · 07-14-2023, 11:12 AM

So many questions.

You mentioned an Oxford House. Was this due to substance abuse issues? Also, curious why you do not have a job? I realize you might not be able to go back to running a construction company right now, but its here a physical disability or mental health issue that is preventing you from working at one the millions of places currently hiring people? Genuinely curious what your situation is before I dust off my grandma's old ring.
