It's National Siblings Day - #NationalSiblingsDay

If you've got any brothers or sisters, today's your day to let them know how much you love them.  It's National Siblings Day!

I have one deceased brother who passed away when I was six.  He was older than me and I don't recall anything about him.  All I know is what I've heard from other family.

I have an older sister who's meaner than an alley cat and we don't talk.  I love her because she's my sister, but that's the only reason why.

This is my sister, Sandy.  She's almost fifteen years older than me.  She has a heart of gold and almost always has a smile on her face.  We don't see each other often but she holds a special place in my heart.

My sister, Traci, is ten years older than me and she's cuckoo for cocoa puffs.  You never know what she will say or do.  She's a wild card with a good heart.  I'm closest to her as far as hanging out or spending time.

And then there's my brother, Donnie.  He's a little less than two years younger.  Because my sisters are older, they were out of the house when I was growing up.  That left me and Donnie.  We hated to love and loved to hate each other.  He's also a bird of a different feather but there's no lack of entertainment with him around.  And he's fiercely protective of me.

 Consider this:
Only 3% of Americans hate their siblings.

To conduct the NationalToday.com Siblings Day Survey, the researchers at National Today [www.nationaltoday.com]—America's favorite online destination to commemorate quirky and fun holidays—asked 1,000 Americans about everyone’s favorite sibling celebration.
