July 26 is National Aunt and Uncle’s Day. This day provides an opportunity to spend time with those relatives we trusted and leaned on growing up. Aunts and uncles are like the “cool” mom and dad, and you get to spend holidays together, family times and sometimes even sleepovers. You ask them for love and life advice, you tag along with them on road trips, and a lot of times you tell them your secrets so they can help you hide them from your parents.
Aunts and uncles definitely fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and wonderful memories. That’s why today is a good time to relieve those moments by calling your aunts and uncles, stopping by for a visit, sending them a card or a bouquet of flowers, or maybe even take them out for dinner. Reminisce the good old times by looking through photographs, reliving memories of Christmas time or 4th of July picnic, or that super fun vacation you all took together.
To help out with the celebrations, here are 21 quotes, wishes and messages for our cool aunts and uncles!
