I didn’t know of it until my brother sent me a message last year. I was shocked to say the least!!! Not because it was NSD but because he actually took the time to send a message!!! I don’t buy & send Hallmark cards anymore. I send texts & emails with attachments. It says the same thing but I don’t have to depend on the unreliable post office to get it delivered on time & I can easily make my own personalized greeting!!!!. According to the article…The US holiday was conceived by Claudia Evart to honor the memory of her brother and sister, who died at early ages. The Siblings Day Foundation was incorporated in 1997 and achieved non-profit status in 1999. Carolyn Maloney, then the U.S. representative for New York’s 14th congressional district, officially saluted the holiday and introduced it into the official Congressional Record of the United States Congress on April 10, 1997; and in subsequent years 2001, 2005 and 2008.
@Brian1946 Yes, your brother wants his weed wacker back. I assured him that you’d be kind enough to return it during the wildlife overpass party. So, pop it in the trunk of your car & say SURPRISE when you 2 get together!!!
@cookieman According t the article, only 20% of the population in the US is sibling free, so I knew I was taking a risk. I found my brother to be a royal PITA, so I also had an imaginary sister who was a LOT MORE fun!!! ;} ;} ;}
