Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.  There were other persons in the US who independently thought of "Father's Day", but the credit for the modern holiday is always given to Sonora Dodd.


Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to 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.


After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. 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.


President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. President Richard Nixon signed the law which finally made it permanent in 1972.
[ It is officially "Fathers' Day" but we mispronounced as "Father's Day" and spreed all around]
It is celebrated in different date in different country



Father the word itself has its own virtues.
Father is …..

F – Forgives us for our mistakes.
A- Accepts us the way we are.
T- Teaches us the truth of life.
H- Helps us on every step.
E- Eager to see us always on top.
R- Ready to support us in every up and down.

Every year Father’s Day is celebrated on 3rd Sunday of June in USA, UK & Canada & on 1st Sunday of September in Australia & New Zealand. Following chart will show you the dates of Father’s Day which will be celebrated from 2012 – 2016.




Love can be expressed in many ways; it can be expressed through words, actions or gifts. Some people have problems expressing their love by using words. This is why gifts are the most popular option to show affection and love. This is also the reason behind the fact that when it is time for Father’s day, most people start getting ready to buy amazing gifts for dad to show love and appreciation towards the man who raised them.


Father’s day gifts are very hard to buy, because men are the direct opposite of women. There is no ideal gift that would work for all men. On the other hand, for women, flowers or chocolate is enough and they will work for almost every woman on the planet. The main reason that gifts for dad are that hard to find is that every man has his own taste and his own personality.

A dad is someone who

wants to catch you before you fall

but instead picks you up,

brushes you off,

and lets you try again. 

A dad is someone who

wants to keep you from making mistakes

but instead lets you find your own way,

even though his heart breaks in silence

when you get hurt. 

A dad is someone who

holds you when you cry,

scolds you when you break the rules,

shines with pride when you succeed,

and has faith in you even when you fail.
