Major Turning Point In My Life


Ok so here's my essay for Lesson 25 in English, hope y'all like it...
ALLONS-Y!

There have already been quite a few turning points but, one of the most prominent ones that sticks out in my mind is when my childhood best friend (let’s say her name is Em) left.  Now my best friend and I knew each other all our lives.  Now when I say we’ve knew each other all our lives I mean that literally!  Our dad’s were best buds since high school and once we were born our parents would always set us up on play dates.  We were inseparable.  Everyday after school, Em and I would play and do homework together.  As for summer vacation, if one of us left, we’d talk on the phone to one another for hours at a time.  We were sisters born of different mothers.  We had each other’s backs and if someone hurt one of us, that person was asking for an early death.  I distinctly remember that cursed day, the day when we got the news; we were around nine years old.  Em and I had just finished our homework and had decided to make us an “un-birthday” cake, We had just pulled the scrumptious cake out of the oven and were waiting for it to cool when Em’s mom walked in looking really solemn.  She sat us down on and explained that Em and her family were going to move soon to a house far away from where I lived because their dad thought it’d be best.  I was heart broken, that night I cried myself to sleep and actually wrote in my journal complaining about how life was so unfair and that Em and I didn’t deserve this.  Two moths passed and I barely got to see Em except for at school because she was helping her family pack.  On the third moth, school ended and Em and I were in tears as we said our goodbyes to one another, I cried myself to sleep that whole, lonely, summer.  I haven’t seen Em since.
