It's time to do something for your father—the man who for many people has been an encouragement and support since birth.
The third Sunday of June is Father's Day. The holiday honors not only fathers, but also all men who act as father figures, such as stepfather, uncles and grandfathers.
The idea of Father's Day came from the love and appreciation of an American lady called Sonora Smart Dodd in 1909.
Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. He raised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington State after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child.
When Dodd became an adult, she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
It was her father who made all the parental sacrifices(牺牲) and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless and loving man.
Dodd's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Washington on June 19, 1910.
In 1924, US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Father's Day.
So this is a perfect chance to let your father know what he means to you. To show your love and respect, you need not buy an expensive gift. A homemade card, a phone call or even a sweet smile to greet him when he comes back from work—these are little things that will show your dad that you care about him and love him deeply.
