National Siblings Day Celebration
April 10th is National Siblings Day. No, Hallmark has not proclaimed
the day, but one day they might. The sibling relationship is deeply
significant and is the longest-lasting bond we will likely ever have.
Sibling relationships can be uniquely “special” when one sibling has a
disability or chronic health condition. To honor the sibling
relationship—as well as the many contributions made by
typically-developing brothers and sisters—the Sibling Support Project
has created special webpages in honor of National Siblings Day.
These webpages feature 20 sets of sibs of all ages and backgrounds.
Their pictures and words testify to sibs’ enduring relationship.
Please visit our website and share the good news with others who may
be interested. Here’s our address: www.siblingsupport.org
Thanks!
