The knight in shining armor express

Have you ever had someone that was trying so hard to protect you from something painful that they were willing to absorb that pain themselves so you didn't have to experience it? They are willing to step in, take care of you, and shield you from something by taking it on themselves, all because they care about you, even when you have done nothing but deserve that suffering.

I am totally amazed that the boy would do that for me. He offered to step in and talk to my family for me and protect me from a stressful situation, all the while knowing that he would be the one to absorb the impact and would not come off without pain himself. Who does that?

Thinking about it this morning has only intensified how grateful I am for him and the way he takes care of me. I am finding it hard to wrap my mind around it, bewildered that anyone would want to do something like that for me.
