Father’s Day an Occasion to Honor Fatherhood
Father’s Day is an occasion to honor fatherhood. A father is not just a breadwinner, but someone who is looked up to for guidance. He takes responsibility for the whole family. His acts of love are often taken for granted. We don’t always seem to see the effort he puts into running the house. Often we don’t realize it, especially because we see his acts of love more as an obligation.
However, a father is someone who selflessly sacrifices his time and energy so that you can live comfortably.
The history of Father’s Day dates back to the early 20th century and was inspired by Mother’s Day services that began in 1908.
Ms. Sonora Dodd was the first person to come up with the idea of celebrating Father’s Day. She wanted to pay tribute to her late father, William Smart, who became a single father when her mother died giving birth. Her father raised 6 children alone, which was quite a feat at the time.
Mrs. Dodd wanted to hold a memorial service on the anniversary of her father’s death, June 5, 1910. However, as the organizers had less time available, the date of the service was postponed to June 19. Since then, the third Sunday in June is observed as Father’s Day.
It wasn’t until 1924 that President Coolidge of the United States recommended Father’s Day as a national holiday. 48 years later, President Nixon of the United States officially recognized Father’s Day in 1972.
Father’s Day is not just an occasion but a celebration, a way of thanking our father for all the love he has shown us. It is a day to build strong paternal ties, a day to make society aware of the hidden force that constantly works for the well-being of his family.
The humblest way to thank your father is by giving him a gift. Instead of falling into the trap of giving a typical, boring gift, set aside some time to think about it and what it likes. Remember, men also have a desire for things that they may want very much, but won’t justify buying for themselves. If you were able to learn this secret, you’ve already won half the battle to make him feel special.
The gift does not have to be too expensive or too extravagant. The gift should be something that comes from the heart.
When you think back to all the wonderful things your father has done for you over the years, it can be a challenging task to know where to start and how you’d like to honor him. With Father’s Day on the way, it’s a perfect way to make him feel special.
Speaking of gifts for dad, gadgets and technology are the best gift option and are equivalent to choosing diamonds for a woman. She tries to give him something interesting. Making the gift exclusive is even more comforting. For example, if you want to gift her a book, give her a specially autographed book.
Personalized gifts are also an interesting option. You can start by choosing your favorite family photo. Then decide how you would like to personalize it. You can choose from a variety of options such as coffee mugs, mouse pads, t-shirts, and even bed sheets. You can design a father’s day card using your favorite photos and writing a heartfelt text like “I love you dad” or “World’s best dad.”
