Happy Father's Day |
|
Father's Day began in Spokane Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd wanted her father to know how special he was for raising her after her mother had died. Sonora's father was born in June so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane Washington on the 19th of June 1910.
In 1926, a National Father's Day Committee was formed in New York City. Father's Day was recognized by a Joint Resolution of Congress in 1956. In 1972, President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June. So Father's Day was born in memory and gratitude by a daughter that thought her father and all good fathers should be honored with a special day.

My Father
When
I was: 4 years old: My daddy can do anything.
When I was: 5 years old: My daddy knows a whole lot.
When I was: 6 years old: My dad is smarter than your dad.
When I was: 8 years old: My dad doesn't know exactly everything.
When I was: 10 years old: In the olden days, when my dad grew up,
things were sure different.
When I was: 12 years old: Oh, well, naturally,
Dad doesn't know anything about that.
He is too old to remember his childhood.
When I was: 14 years old: Don't pay any attention to my dad.
He is so old-fashioned.
When I was: 21 years old: Him? My Lord, he's hopelessly out of
date.
When I was: 25 years old: Dad knows about it, but then he should,
because he has been around so long.
When I was: 30 years old: Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks.
After all, he's had a lot of experience.
When I was: 35 years old: I'm not doing a single thing until I
talk to Dad.
When I was: 40 years old: I wonder how Dad would have handled it.
He was so wise.
When I was: 50 years old: I'd give anything if Dad were here now
so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate
how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him

Don't
let Father's Day pass by without
letting him know how special he is to you.
