The Plot Thickens
I’ve mentioned in a previous blog about how some issues from my past life were being echoed in the life of my current sister. In that life, she had been my father and would not allow me to marry my childhood sweetheart before he left to fight in the Civil War. Her reason was that we were too young and not financially secure. My beloved was killed in the war, and I never forgave my father for denying me the short period of happiness we could have had together if we had been allowed to marry. In the current life, my sister ended up marrying very young and without financial security herself. I thought it was interesting that she chose to explore the same kind of situation that she denied me when she was my father.
Well, things just got more interesting. Now, her 18 year old son has announced that he is engaged to his equally young girlfriend, and of course, they don’t have two nickels to rub together. I’ll be intrigued to see how she handles it this time around. Is it bad of me that I find this whole situation hilarious?
Probably.
But it’s still funny.
