My family tree is a bit hard to follow, but I'll try to make it easy. I have two half sisters: Amy and Kristen, and one half brother, Aaron. But, I also consider Jenny and Adam (Bubba) to be my step sister and brother because my dad was with their mom when I was seeing my dad every other weekend; so it felt as though they were my family. Thats where most people get confused, if you've followed me this far, you're good. Growing up I was close with my siblings, except with Aaron (I'll explain why), but once Mom and I moved to Colorado when I was seven or eight, those relationships got lost, thankfully, thanks to Facebook, we've been able to reconnect. If it wasn't for Facebook, I don't think I would have ever found out that I had a little brother, Aaron. It wasn't even a year ago that we were able to connect and start talking. Again, thank you Facebook! (This blog might be a little hard for me to write because of emotions, again, but I'll try my hardest to make some sense.)
Amy - I'm not going to say much about Amy...We're currently not on speaking terms and its absolutely tearing me up inside. I know we've never been THAT close, but I was trying to fix that when everything went to Hell. And no, I wasn't trying to get closer just because our dad was sick, I wanted to be part of her life again. I still love my sister, and I hope shes enjoying the newest addition to the family...
Kristen - I could write a book about the lies my sister told me! (Don't worry, they were in good fun!) Like the one time she told me if I went outside and rubbed all the chalk all over the sidewalk, I'd make fairy dust. Or the one time she told me if I drew a picture of what I wanted and put it under the pillow with my tooth, the tooth fairy would leave whatever I drew instead of money. Yeah, I'm STILL waiting for my unicorn. I've always looked up to my sissy, and still do. I remember as kids, if she had to pee, I had to pee, if she was thirsty, I was thirsty only because I needed to be exactly like her! I remember one night we were sitting in bed and she put one of those Chinese finger traps on my fingers and wouldn't take it off. She also threw my jacket in the pond once, I don't remember why. I could go on and on about the memories I have with my sissy; I treasure each and every one of them. And even though Kristen bullied me, I still love her with my whole heart!
Aaron - There isn't much I can say about Aaron, I've only known him a short while and haven't yet met him in person. But, from our conversations, I can tell he's a pretty cool kid and I can't wait for the day that we can meet in person. I'm glad his mom found my mom on Facebook and sent a friend request.
Jenny - This girl just has the biggest heart in the whole world. Her kindness and willingness to help people astounds me. She is a single mom, and has been for some time. I know that being a single parent is hard, but Jenny has the skill down. Shes one of the best mothers and her little guy is so very lucky to have her. I'm glad shes finally met the guy of her dreams, and I hope they stay happily together for the rest of their lives. I love you Jenny, and can't wait to see you again.
Bubba - First, I have no idea how I started calling him Bubba, I just do. He once told me if I stopped calling him that infront of his friends, he'd give me a dollar and a peice of candy, I did, and never got my dollar or candy. Growing up he was always the protective type. If we went to feed the geese at the pond, he wouldn't let me or Kristen be the last one with the peice of bread, he would. And Kristen and I would have to be on our bikes and ready to go before he gave them the last peice, just incase they tried to attack us. He was always the cool guy, at least in my eyes. He was the one that taught me to eat pizza for breakfast, and even tried to teach me how to chung a can of pop in three seconds flat. Yeah, I still can't do that. I love my Bubba.
This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but I was extremely busy yesterday, with work and what not, so I'm sorry! Day Five will be posted later today, when I get home from work.
Thanks for reading!
-Emily.
