National Brother's Day: Date, history, wishes, quotes, and how to celebrate

National Brother’s Day is celebrated annually on May 24. All you want to know about this day; wishes to share with your brother.

Brothers are indeed a blessing. They are our partner-in-crime, biggest support, and understand us in ways that nobody will ever be able to. An elder or a younger brother's presence could be at times the biggest relief in times of crisis and loneliness. You may not connect for days, months or years, but when you do, it's old times again. Whether you are 8 or 80, being around your brother can make you forget all your worries for a while. Even if you don't along with your brother, you would never be able to truly hate them as you have a lifetime of memories with them.
