The Importance of Friendship
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What, you too? I thought I was
the only one!’” —C.S. Lewis
Friends are among the most essential and supportive types of relationships you will ever establish,
because while family relationships are (typically) non-negotiable, friendship is a voluntary institution.
National Friendship Day was originally a marketing strategy for Hallmark Cards in the 1930s. Founder
Joyce Hall designated the day would take place on August 2 and decided it would be a day to celebrate
the people closest to you — and send them a card or two in the process. Now, almost 25 years later, it’s
celebrated the first Sunday in August.
