April 10 is National Sibling Day, which means that it's time to start stocking up on nice things to say to your brothers and sisters. I've gone ahead and helped you out a little bit by rounding up 10 National Sibling Day quotes that extrapolate on just how lucky you are to have your kin. Seriously, just ask an only child.
Siblings have a unique relationship that goes beyond your usual friendships. Your brothers and sisters have known you from the start (if not vice versa), and they have seen you grow from an infant into an adult. In today's constantly moving culture, that's an amazing thing.
While we all inevitably change as we become adults, there are pieces of us that always stay the same. Siblings know what those things are, and they know how to bring them out of you no matter how old you get. Haven't you ever noticed how much you revert back into being a child when you're hanging out with them?
Call up your siblings this Sunday and let them know how important they are to you. There are a lot of wonderful things in this life, but brothers and sisters undeniably top that list.
