National Family Day – 2026

Jessica Brusaw: Last year my family traveled to France – my husband Gregg and kids Liam (17), Ava (14) and Charlotte (11). It was an exciting trip where we got to see the city of Paris, some of the wine region and the south of France beaches. This photo includes my mother and stepfather – it was nice to take a multi-generational trip! 🙂

Pavithra C: The best things in life aren’t things – they’re family

Debbie Chau: My father passed away last year. While the family grieved over his sudden departure, we also have taken the time to reflect on how we had been investing our time in the past 2 decades. We realized that due to whatever reasons, the extended family has not made the effort to have a family vacation since 23 years ago! We realized that it does take deliberate effort and sometimes even sacrifice to make memories in relationships. My father’s sudden departure woke many of us to realize that we cannot take each other for granted, we do not know how long we will have each other.  Therefore, many of our extended family members had made a conscious effort to go on a vacation together in the Dominican Republic in the past summer.  It was such a beautiful trip as it has strengthened the bonds within the family.

Jane Kushner: This photo was taken at Villa Casa Casuarina (the former Versace Mansion) in Miami Beach, where we celebrated our older daughter’s college graduation this summer. The celebration became even more memorable when an unexpected torrential rainstorm caused the outdoor cover to leak, leaving everyone soaked. What could have been a disaster turned into a fun family memory filled with laughter. This picture represents a proud milestone, and a day we will never forget.
