It is almost time to celebrate National Sisters Day! Growing up with two younger sisters has certainly made my life more colorful. More fights, more missing clothes and books, and more tears. But also more love, more courage, more hugs, and more hands to hold. I have also been lucky enough to develop lasting friendships with strong, smart, and loving women who have become my honorary sisters. The benefits of having siblings have carried me through the darkness of difficult times and made joyful days infinitely brighter. The importance of sisters is immeasurable.

When is National Sisters Day?

National Sisters Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in August.

What is National Sisters Day?

It is a day to recognize the unique bond between sisters and think about why sisters are important.

What Are The Benefits Of Having Siblings: The Gifts of Sisterhood

why sisters are important
Me, Alex, Lizzy on 8/2/15.

Yesterday was National Sisters Day. My two sisters and I had the chance to spend the day together, a chance that has become rarer over the years. Sitting beside them, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for everything my siblings have given me. Here is why sisters are important and just a few blessings that sisters give each other.

Sisters Share Laughter

I have never laughed harder than when I’m sharing a ridiculous moment with my sisters. Laughter keeps me sane; it eases every burden, soothes heartache, and always manages to put things in perspective.

Siblings Inspire Courage

Whenever I am paralyzed by fear or indecision, I turn to my siblings. By listening to my doubts and offering wise advice, my sisters help me face the unknown. Their words of wisdom and support inspires me to be more courageous.

Siblings Offer Wisdom

My siblings always have a fresh perspective on any problem I am grappling with. I am always impressed by the wise insights they have to offer. Having a sister means having an extra brain to power through problems with – someone who understands how you tick and knows just what to say to make you feel better.

Partners In Adventure

The importance of sisters is always having someone by your side to encourage you. Whether it’s spontaneous cake-baking, late-night scary movies, tubing on the lake, photoshoots on the porch, or diving headfirst into icy West Coast waves, my sisters have shown me there’s always room in the day for an adventure.

What Is A Good Quote About Sisters?

This is a good quote about sisters supporting each other and restoring hope and faith in ourselves.

“Sisters are angels who lift us up when our wings forget how to fly.” -unknown

This quote about sisters reminds me of similar we are and yet how very different we can be.

“A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves—a special kind of double.”
-Toni Morrison

And this quote about sisters makes me realize wonder about all the different twists our lives have taken.

“A sister is like yourself in a different movie, a movie that stars you in a different life.”
-Deborah Tannen

When Is Sisters Day 2022?

Sisters Day is August 7, 2022

There you have a few of the reasons why sisters are important to me. This week, reach out to a sister (biological or otherwise) who loves you and let her know how much you appreciate her presence in your life. Despite differences and disagreements, a true sister always has your back. The importance of sisters can be summed up as they make your life richer by exposing you to new points of view and being there for you when you need them. Are you close to your siblings? Why are siblings important to you?
