Celebrating Siblings: The Bonds That Shape Us
April 10 marks National Siblings Day, a perfect time to reflect on the unique and powerful relationships we share with our siblings. Whether it’s the laughter, the rivalry, or the unspoken understanding, siblings are often some of the most influential people in our lives. They are our first friends, our lifelong confidants, and often, our greatest supporters. Growing up with siblings means learning how to share, how to argue, and how to grow together through the ups and downs of life. We often have memories that stretch back to childhood — inside jokes, shared experiences, and countless moments that only siblings can truly understand. And even though we might not always see eye to eye, there is a bond that endures, no matter the distance or time apart. For many of us, siblings are the people who truly know us best, the ones who have seen us at our highest and lowest moments. Whether we’re celebrating milestones together or supporting each other through challenging times, there’s something incredibly special about the connection that siblings share. At Rinehardt Injury Attorneys, we thought it would be fun to honor our own siblings — those people who have played such an important role in our lives. Here are a few stories about our staff’s siblings and the bonds they share:
mom, which makes me a proud dance aunt. I love cheering on my two nieces with her at competitions. Sarah is 12 years younger than me, and it shows when she’s still full of energy while I’m already ready for bed, but I wouldn’t trade our bond for anything.
Kristin Gleason: The funniest thing about us is that we aren’t even biologically related. We look alike and we act alike, but her dad married my mom when I was 16 (she was 6) and so every other weekend, she was my little sister. We’ve gotten a lot closer as we’ve gotten older and the loss of my mom (OUR mom) really brought us closer in our sadness. Her name is Katie Marie and my name is Kristin Marie.
Suzanna Hammond: Nate and I have always been close. For the last five years, we have made it a tradition to go on the first hike of spring together at Mohican State Park, usually shortly after his April birthday. Back in October, Nate and I decided to become roommates so we could both save money. It has been such a fun experience to live together again! We’ve grown even closer, and I am grateful I get to be a part of his life and maintain a strong friendship with him as adults!
Stephanie Hunt: My one and only sibling is my sister, Sarah, and she’s truly someone who wears many hats. Based in Columbus, Sarah is a talented spray tan artist who is one of the best in the business. She is also a dedicated real estate agent who loves helping people buy and sell their homes in the Mansfield area. In fact, the picture here was taken when we celebrated a home closing together; I was there to notarize the documents. You can also find Sarah waitressing at Top Golf, where she brings her fun and energetic personality to every table. Her love for animals runs deep — she’s been known to stop in the middle of the road to rescue a dog, a cat, and even a turtle (yes, that really happened!). On top of everything else, Sarah is a proud dance
Avery Hatfield: Kennedy made me a big sister and has become my best friend. As the oldest of five children, I could never pick a favorite, but none of us deny she’s the funny one. I am so proud to be her sister.
Brilynn Chirdon: Even with an eight-year age gap, I know Reghan has my back through the ups and downs in life. I love being her “big” sister (even though she is taller than me)!
