My mom told me one day that I had to give up my blankie…but I didn’t just have to give it up, I had to give it to some little creep who would flaunt it in front of my face every day…thus Emily Cooper (Radaker) would make her way into my life, when I was just four years old. It wasn’t like I had a choice—I had to live with this little twerp. So, I made the best of it.
JUST KIDDING, SIS. :P
Emily Radaker is my best friend and she is my only sister. And sometimes, I don’t know what the hell I would do without her. There were times, in high school and college, she told me I was ruining her life (I student-taught at Butler High School while she was a senior there), but I think she forgave me--right, Em? LOL.
Most times we keep one another sane. I do really think we would be lost without one another other. But, she’d probably have a less stressful life if I weren't always bothering her—LOL. I do have to say that the thirteen-hour drive to Brunswick, Maine does stink…but "I gots the iPhone 4, baby." LOL. Nah…if Skyping and traveling to Brunswick is what I have to do to see her and talk to her, then so be it. I need her in my life. She is always there for me when I am talking myself in and out of things, working through the trials of life, or when I need to talk about just about anything you can think of. I sometimes wish I could do the same for her.
Emily's perspective always seems to be something I can completely relate to, yet I never would have conceived of in my own bouncy-ball-esque brain.
I never met someone who I was so much like, but also so different from. It is good that way, though—that’s why it works.
My sister is cooler than yours. ;)
