| Have Fun on Father's Day! |
The first Father's Day was June 19th in 1910,
just one year after Mother's Day was established as a national holiday. Years later, in 1966, President Lydon B. Johnson designated it to be the third Sunday every June. Six years later, President Richard M. Nixon declared it to be legally a national holiday.
Moms and dads have an extremely important role in the lives of their children: nurturers, teachers, providers, fashion guides, comforters, role models, cheerleaders, chauffeurs, coaches, shepherds, nutritionists, medical experts...and on and on. We are a little bit of everything for our kids!
Some are doing it all on their own. They are both mom and dad - a double-responsibility!
Zen Habits has an excellent article about How to Be a Great Dad--12 Awesome Tips, just in time for Father's Day.

I'm commenting on my own post! My dad has been such a good dad. He has always been a good listener and willing to be a good teacher, if only I had let him! :) (He wanted to teach me the ropes of "high finance" and I turned him down. That was a really stupid move on my part.)
ReplyDeleteHe put a built-in swimming pool in our back yard. He did it all himself and he did a great job, with a beautiful patio and creek with waterfall, too. Dad worked so hard and was, and is, so faithful. He is the BEST!
Thank you for the great idea - I have absolutely no idea of what to get my dad! :/
ReplyDeleteShopping for dad's is tough. Does he have a hobby?
