Before we start off with our topic, let me first greet my husband a Happy Father’s Day!!! I Love You so much Daddy! And Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers in the World especially to my Father! 
It was June 15, 2003, when I first celebrated Father’s Day with my husband Michael, and gave him a card with a very simple message about Fatherhood.
wait, let me share it with you….
“Fatherhood is a promise… A promise to open your heart and to love unconditionally… It’s a promise to be patient and to try to live as an example of everything you believe to be right and true…
Fatherhood is a promise – the biggest and most important a man can ever make… and you’ve always been true to yours.
Happy Father’s Day.”
nice right? Hehehe another Hallmark message And of course, I put my personal message as well. I guess he don’t even remember this… right Dad? 
Now, let me tell you a little information about the occasion, since it’s Father’s Day Tomorrow.
Father’s Day is a day honoring fathers, celebrated on the third Sunday of June in 52 of the world’s countries and on other days elsewhere. It’s like Mother’s Day — honoring mothers.
Father’s Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving, special dinners to fathers, and family-oriented activities.
The first observance of Father’s Day is believed to have been held on July 5, 1908 in a church located in Fairmont, West Virginia, by Dr. Robert Webb of West Virginia at the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South of Fairmont. The church still exists under the name of Central United Methodist Church.
While, Sonora Smart Dodd of Washington thought independently of the holiday one Sunday in 1909 while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon at the Central Methodist Episcopal Church at Spokane, and she arranged a tribute for her father on June 19, 1910. She was the first to solicit the idea of having an official Father’s Day observance to honor all fathers.
But having the day recognized nationally, and then internationally, didn’t come easy for those behind the concept.According to Wikipedia, “in spite of support from the YWCA and churches, it ran the risk of disappearing from the calendar.”
Where Mother’s Day was met with enthusiasm, Father’s Day was met with laughter. The holiday was gathering attention slowly, but for the wrong reasons. It was the target of much satire, parody and derision, including jokes from the local newspaper, Spokesman-Review. Many people saw it as just the first step in filling the calendar with mindless promotions like Grandparents’ Day, Professional Secretaries’ Day, etc., all the way down to National Clean Your Desk Day.
Federal legislators in the U. S. went as far as introducing a bill in Congress in 1913 to mark the day. It did not pass. Then in 1924, U. S. President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea, but it still didn’t get far. In the 1930s, a number of trade groups tried to get recognition for the day, but to no avail.
It wasn’t until 1966 that it was made a federal holiday in the U. S. when President Lyndon Johnson issued a proclamation.
Hmmm… good thing there’s an occasion like this to thank fathers for all the hardship of raising their children, and of course with the help of the mother And to my Father thank you for the love you’ve given us…time…patience— money And to my Husband who is very annoying at times… I Love You– Happy Father’s Day! Thank you for the love, caring, patience and being responsible as a Father to our children and husband to me. Spending time with us, even if you are super busy… For the Yellow Cab pizza… Thanks for everything we really appreciate all your efforts.. Happy Father’s day!!!
