National Siblings Day

It would be difficult to contest the fact that the bond between siblings is extra-special! Especially because many of them have spent most of their entire lives together. Many people can't even remember a time when their siblings weren't part of their lives.

Some of them even shared a womb at the same time, if they were born as multiples!

Sibling bonds are often life-long relationships, usually lasting from cradle to grave.

Since siblings are most likely from the same generation, these are often the longest relationships of a person's life–much longer than a mother's and father's relationship.

Siblings Day is a way of honouring the special bond that happens within families, as brothers and sisters share life together from childhood into adulthood and even into old age.
