Father's Day
Father’s Day celebrates the men who have embraced the essential role of fatherhood. Every year on Father’s Day, we honor the men who sacrifice so much to support their families and to ensure that their children can lead fulfilling lives. The men who help shape our children's character through their love, guidance, and devotion. I had a great father and I married an amazing man that is a wonderful father to our two kiddos.
The nation’s first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington. But it wasn't until 1972 - 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official - that the day became became a nationwide holiday in the United States to honor fathers.
Children Need A Daddy
Children need a Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding them high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells them all is right
When they awaken frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in their hearts
And shows them how they might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving them the love
That is their sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
They'll always find him there.
