The History of Father's Day..👏

Father's Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards.


In fact when a "father's day" was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards!

Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.

The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington.


At about the same time in various towns and cities across American other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day.".


In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.

Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day.

In my Opinion:-😊
Every Day is a Father's Day, Every Day is a Mother's Day...What the Parents do for their children throughout the life, I think just honouring or respecting or remembering just one day is nothing compare to their Sacrificies, Love, Caring, fulfilling the needs..giving their best inspite of the hardships or struggles they go through...they only want to see the smile on their children's face...

Some Quotes:-

Do u know whats the meaning of FATHER?
F = Forever With His Family
A = Always There For You No Matter What
T = The Only One Who's There
H = He's My Hero Till The End
E = Encouraging In Everything I Do
R = Really The Only One'👏👏👏

No One Can Beat Him He's The Best!!!
Your guiding hand on my shoulder,
will remain with me forever.
Thanks for being always there Pops.

Happy Father's Day!⭐️
U kept me warm & safe,
held my hand to show me the way,
Supported & inspired me through night & day,
Love you in everyway .
Missing you on Father's Day...

My dear FATHER!
I owe You the debt of life ,
Its infinity, colors, sounds & feelings i experience.
Please accept my gratitude on this very special day,
Although every moment of my life is a gift from you.

"Happy Fathers Day"

Little girl & her father crossing a bridge

Father said:
Please Hold my Hand.

Girl:
No Dad
You hold my hand.

Father:
Whats the difference?

Girl:
If i hold your hand
i may leave your hand in some difficulty,
But if you hold my hand
i m sure that you will not leave my hand.

May God protect our parents...

-A Great Man Who
Spares His Life '
'-Hides His Feelings '
-Ignores His Happiness '
-Accepts The Struggle '

So Don't Hurt Your Gentle
Dad '

Think About Him ' !😊

F.. is for the Faith that I have on you
A.. is for the Affection that you treat me with
T ..is for the Tender touch of yours
H.. is for the Happiness that you give me
E.. is for the Endless sacrifice that you make for me
R.. is for the Rapture that I get in your company.

Happy Father's Day dad!
You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Happy Father's Day!

Beautiful post, Raj⭐️

Happy Fathers Day to everyone!!!

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!

Happy Father's Day
