Every small child needs a
superhero in their life as they grow up. A superhero is someone who serves as
an example to them. Every child's first superhero encounter is with his or her
father. A father is the emblem of power that connects the entire family.
Fathers are the most diligent workers. They will go to any length to provide for
their children. Every third Sunday in June, Father's Day is observed. It's a
day to honor all fathers and thank them for their unselfish efforts to their
families.
There are two stories behind Father's Day
celebrations. The inaugural Father's Day was observed in America on June 19,
1910, to honor Miss Sonora Smart Doom's father. William Smart's wife died while
he was expecting his sixth child. After his wife died, he was left to raise his
six children alone. Sanora Smart, William Smart's daughter, wanted to
commemorate Father's Day on June 5, the anniversary of her father's death. She
believed that while we all admire and appreciate the mother's sacrifices and
feelings, no one pays attention to the sacrifices of the father. Father's Day
was first observed in America in Fairmont, West Virginia, according to the
second story. The inaugural commemoration of the day took place on July 5,
1908. It was built in commemoration of 361 workers who died in a coal mine
explosion in 1907. During President Nixon's presidency, Father's Day was
declared a national holiday in 1972.
By honoring Father's Day, we recognize not only fatherhood but also
its vital influence and significance in our lives. We honor the strength,
security, sacrifice, and all else that comes with parenthood. We should be
grateful to our fathers every day, not just on this special day, but every day
for providing us with the life we have, for showering us with love and gifts,
for safeguarding us from all evils, and for being our guide and support system.
A father is a role model, a friend, and a source of inspiration for his
children.
Happy Father's Day to all fathers out there especially to my father!
