National Sisters Day is about celebrating the bond between sisters and the ways sisterhood teaches empathy, courage, and conflict resolution, from shared childhood memories to the sisterhood women create with each other as adults.

Even though my sister and I will be apart and are both on our journeys of figuring out who we are going to be, the memories we share and the amazing friendship we keep will always be with us.

National Parents’ Day is more than just a date; it’s a meaningful acknowledgment of the boundless love, sacrifices, and dedication that parents contribute to their families each day.

My dad has always been my first call. I’m trying to navigate what it means to grow up. I want him to be proud of me. I miss the relationship we had when I was younger, but I also love how it’s changed.
