Dimple

Cousins Dimple & Chubby.

Taken at our garage two years ago

My aunt and cousin Dimple came for brunch this morning to discuss about the issue of marriage over  Dimple's early or unwanted pregnancy. As a psychology graduate,  the pressure is on me to give counsel on family members' predicaments.  I never gave Dimple my opinion or expressed my biases over the issue. As a counselor, you can only ask guiding questions to help a person decide on what is right in a dire situation.  As a Catholic, i feel guilty.  As an individual, i feel agitated that i cannot comment, because if i do, i will be responsible if the person heeds your advice. 

Its a pity that she lost her youth at 23. She is pretty, sexy, a promising nurse and we never really expected her to be in this dilemma. Although her fiance is crazy about her and is so eager to marry so soon, sometimes I cannot help but think he planned this to secure Dimple.    I think she is too young to marry and she looks so uncertain, so anxious and unprepared to enter the complex world of marriage. Anyhow, it's her decision to make and i played my part to pave the way for her choices.

Oh God please guide her. I hope i havent said anything that will lead her to the wrong path.
