Just like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day has a real tendency to sneak up on us, don’t you think (despite the “subtle” hints in all shop windows)? In fact, it is this coming Sunday the 18th, to be more specific.
The idea of a special day to celebrate and honour fatherhood was first introduced in the United States in 1910, when a 27-year-old woman from Washington proposed it to honour the man who raised her when her mom died during childbirth. So, on the third Sunday of June every year, we get to celebrate our “go-to” guys.
Dads are playing their part with gusto and should be recognised for that. They have more emotional relationships with their kids, from day one, than ever before. Did you know that fathers who take a week or more off to spend time with their newborn are closer to their child during every stage of their life, right up into young adulthood? Pretty impressive, not so?
So, how could you thank your pops this Father’s Day without breaking the bank? C’mon let’s think outside the box though… no more socks, ties, belts and soap-on-a-rope (you’re welcome dads!)
Remember, no matter what you get your dad, he will appreciate the love and the thought that went into it.
“Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad.” Anne Geddes.
So, happy Father’s Day to all who go by the name “Dad.”
