When it comes to offspring, National Daughter’s Day on September 25 reminds us of the young women and girls in our lives. Today, spend time with your daughter or someone you think of as a daughter.

Daughters bring a certain kind of joy into our world. Like all children, they have their own personalities and strengths. As parents, we look forward to discovering the world through their eyes.

NATIONAL PUNCTUATION DAY

National Punctuation Day commemorates all punctuation on September 24. A period, a comma, a semicolon, a question mark, and an exclamation point are examples of some of the punctuation used in writing. They separate sentences and their elements to clarify meaning. Without them, meaning would be lost or up for interpretation. #NationalPunctuationDay
