Happy Father’s Day 2022: ‘It is a wise man that knows his child. It is a wise man that does not catch his child when they fall, instead, he picks them up, brushes them off, and let them try again. It is a wise man who doesn’t tell you that he loves you, he just shows it. It is a wise man who becomes a father and makes this bond unbreakable’ said William Shakespeare in his play.
True, the relationship between a father and a child is indescribable. For every child, their fathers are superheroes who can do anything to bring a smile to their faces. He is a mentor who teaches how to fight hard times and a friend who nourishes his child smoothly to mix with the world. They are like coconut, tough from the outside and soft from the inside.
Every year, Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June, and this year, it falls on June 19, and it is the most perfect time of year to celebrate the loving and caring men in one’s life. Whether it’s your dad, uncle, brother, grandpa — anyone who has been a father figure to you- this day is dedicated to all of them.
Father’s Day was founded in the US by one Sonora Smart Dodd. Sonora’s father was a civil war veteran, William Jackson Smart. He was a single parent from Arkansas who selflessly raised six children. Sonora had heard about how Anna Jarvis had created Mother’s Day in honor of her mother. So, she told the pastor of her church that there should be something similar to celebrate fathers. She wanted to honor and acknowledge the role of her father and all fathers on the day of William’s birth anniversary, which was June 5.
Even though the petition was declined, Sonora convinced local church communities to participate. The date was pushed, and the celebration was eventually deferred to the third Sunday of June because for the minister to prepare, the date suggested by Sonora was too soon, so he presented it a few weeks later on June 19. From then on, Father’s Day started to happen on the third Sunday of June.
