Like many, I have these pictures of my brother and sister, who are both gone, but remain with me daily, not just in these pictures, but in my daily thoughts and in my heart. I lost both of them in tragic accidents, making me understand the everlasting bond we have with our siblings.

I could speak about the importance of the sibling relationship, but I could not do a better job than that done by the 40 some Governors of our states who have issued proclamations declaring Siblings Day in their states, which are posted under the "States" button above. Please read the beautiful language in those proclamations. Our brothers and sisters are a permanent part of our mental life. See the "Published Articles" in the buttons above for some discussion about the importance of our siblings throughout our adult lives.
