Fathers
have always been associated with guidance and protection; the
person who can be loved, respected and looked up to. Father's
Day is a day of commemoration and celebration of Dad. It is
a day to honor all the fathers for everything they did for their
children. This is an occasion to express gratitude towards your
dad for all his love and support. The self sacrifices, determination,
and sheer will of fathers are always admired and appreciated.
Fathers, the special man in our life, are honored around the
world in diverse ways. Father's Day provide children an opportunity
to express love and respect for their father’s unconditional
love and affection. The sentiment goes a long way in strengthening
father-child relationship and consequently in the emotional
development of a child.
Everybody takes the opportunity to honor their father and tell
them how much they are loved and appreciated. In today’s
world, people celebrate this occasion with their grand dad,
father-in-law, uncle, stepfather or many other men who is caring
and protective as a father. This festival is celebrated with
immense enthusiasm and lot of charm across the globe. The date
and style of celebrating this festival differs from country
to country but one thing that remains common is the spirit of
this occasion.
Father's Day can also be termed as an occasion for reunion.
In Pakistan, people start the preparation of Father's Days in
advance. Some prepare beautiful hand made cards with inspirational
quotations to express their love towards their dearest dad.
Those who stay away from their father feel like spending that
auspicious day with their dad. Generally, children present a
bouquet of fresh flowers, a greeting card, a gift hamper, etc
to their father. After such a beautiful start of the day, children
usually spend a full day with dad by going out for a picnic
or for a treat in a restaurant. The best way to do so is to
do small things that daddy appreciates and by saying “I
love you, Papa” with a gift of beautiful flower.
Observance of Father's Day makes fathers feel that their contributions are acknowledged by their children. This day makes children ponder for a while on the important role their father play in their life. This helps them appreciate the selfless care and protection provided by their father and hence they come emotionally closer to their dad. Children must therefore take full opportunity of the day and express their gratitude for fathers with all their heart to let him know how that everything he does for the family is appreciated from the core of the heart.
