Father's Day Gift.

Father’s Day this year will be on the 17th. Ever heard how this secular holiday started? Actually, this was inaugurated in the early 20th century to complement Mother’s Day in celebrating fatherhood and commemorating and honoring the fathers in the world. Here’s what I’ve researched from Ehow.com about how Father’s Day started:

“…Father's Day was the brainchild of Sonora Smart Dodd, whose mother had died giving birth to her. At a time when many widowed men sent their offspring to live with relatives, Sonora's father reared her and her five siblings alone, on a farm in eastern Washington. In 1909, grown and married, Sonora was in church listening to a Mother's Day sermon when the thought struck her that fathers deserved credit, too - especially hers. Through her efforts, Spokane, Washington, held the first Father's Day observance the following year.”

I’m sure we all totally can relate with Sonora on realizing how grateful should we be to our fathers. Aside from contributing the chromosomes that completed our breath of life, our Dads portray a number of roles in our lives from the time we are born until we grow up. He’s a Problem-Solver, a Playmate, our Principled Guide, our Provider or Breadwinner, our Protector. He’s a teacher, a supervisor, a model. For all these things that they do for their children, it’s just right that we somehow give back or pay tribute to them through commemorating them not only during this holiday but every single of our lives.

Do you already have plans on how to pay tribute to your Dad on this special day? There are really a lot of ways to show our appreciation to our Dads. You can give him the ultimate gift; which is your time. Spend the whole day with him: plan a picnic, a swimming getaway, a movie marathon, etc. Or you may pamper him with whatever culinary ceremonies he enjoys most; give him something you know he'd love but isn't likely to buy for himself such as a polo shirt, Neckties, a collection of his favorite CD, etc.
