Many countries celebrate Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. If you could dedicate a holiday to a more distant relative, who would it be — and why?
Why limit ourselves to one type of person. Let’s celebrate diversity and all the special people in our life—whoever and whatever they are. If I had the power I would add Special Person Day to the calendar. A day for everyone to thank and celebrate the special people in their lives. Every has someone who is important to them. No one gets to judge and I have added some options that may already have another day because if they are your special person they shouldn’t miss out because of a generic day. There are no rules — your person can be:
- Aunt
- Brother
- Cat
- Charity Worker
- Child
- Dog
- Fake Relatives
- Father
- Friend
- Faithful Companion
- Grand parent
- Health Care Professional
- Mother
- Neighbour
- Nephew
- Niece
- Partner
- Religious Leader
- Sister
- Support Person
- Travel Companion
- Uncle
- Work Colleague
Let’s have fun with this idea. Leave other ideas in the comment section and let’s see how big this list can become.
A Special Friend’s Day – Internationally as well.
Definitely!
A Step-Parent To Your Own Children Day … aka your ex’s new spouse/partner. In their own special way they care about, love, and help raise your children. Whether the breakup was/is amicable or not, whether you like the new partner or not, doesn’t matter. They are influencing your kids’ lives and if that is celebrated, chances are it will be a positive thing. Just my two cents.
Step-parents are important.
For me the special person my uncle.
My brother Stephen. I think we should celebrate people who are developmentally disabled. My brother has Autism and acceptance is hard to find.
Unfortunately acceptance can be hard to find but everyone is special in their own way.
My sister JoAnn. She, more than anyone else in my life, has taught me the true value of a dollar.
An excellent choice and a valuable skill to learn.
