 But It Takes Someone SPECIAL to be A Dad!"

Father's Day History

Father’s Day, 3rd Sunday in June. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. 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 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed 
the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. 
Roses are the Father's Day flowers: 
red to be worn for a living father 
and white if the father has died.

What Is A Dad?
 A Dad is a person who is loving and kind,
 And often he knows what you have on your mind.
 He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends ~
 A dad can be one of your very best friends!
 He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,
 A dad can be patient and helpful and strong
In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part ~
 There's always a place for him deep in your heart ~
 And each year that passes, you're even more glad,
 More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
