“A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.” ~Marian Garretty

Sisterhood and friendship go hand in hand. Who else can take you back to the memories of childhood like a sister? These lifelong friends are beautiful gifts, so it makes sense that National Sisters Day and National Friendship Day are celebrated on the same day! The first Sunday in August (August 6th this year) is a day to celebrate these special women in your life. Billy Heroman’s Flowers & Gifts is happy to help you to honor them, with a beautiful selection of bouquets to tell her how much you appreciate her in your life.National Friendship Day was made official by the United States’ Congress in 1935. Since then, many countries around the globe celebrate their friends on the first Sunday in August and will send gifts, flowers, and cards to commemorate the day. National Sisters Day is also celebrated on the first Sunday of August. While the origin of this holiday is unknown, it stands to reason that the two holidays fall on the same day. Sisters are often our closest friends – and close friends so often feel like sisters.

Did You Know? A recent study shows that having a sister makes us more happy and optimistic and that the early days of intimacy with a sister helps us to have trust and healthy relationships later in life! This sounds like the perfect reason to thank her.

Imagine her delight when a gorgeous floral design, such as Floral Oasis (shown above) is delivered right to her front door!  The variety of colors and flowers in this arrangement reflects all of the special and unique beauty of your relationship and will be a meaningful reminder of how important she is to you.

Whether she is your sister by birth or sister by choice, you have the opportunity to celebrate your special bond on August 6th- National Friendship Day and National Sisters Day!
