PLEASE JOIN ME TODAY, TUESDAY, JUNE 11TH AT FAMILY FUN IN THE PARK!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND!
Happy Father's day to all dads, grandpas and "father figures" this weekend.
There is no greater gift in life than being called "Dad".
I hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day weekend.
A Father means so many things…
An understanding heart,
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start....
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way.
A special generosity and always affection, too
that will never be forgotten
The inspiration for a day dedicated to Dad dates back to the early 1900s. After a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd's mother died during childbirth, she and her siblings were raised by her father, a Civil War veteran named William Smart.
To express her gratitude for all her father did for her, Dodd initiated a day designated to “instill the same love and reverence for the father as is the mother's portion,” Dodd wrote about the day in a 1910 newspaper article.
This weekend is an opportunity to honour and acknowledge the incredible influence and significance of dads. We celebrate the profound impact they have had on our lives, shaping us into the individuals we are today.
To all the dads who are present in our lives, we express our deepest gratitude and appreciation. You are the pillars of strength, the guiding lights, and the unwavering support that we rely on. You tirelessly provide for us, protect us, and offer unconditional love. Your presence and involvement in our lives are invaluable, and we cherish the memories we create with you.
To the father figures who have stepped into many lives and filled the role of a dad, we are grateful for the love and care you have shown the children. I know your presence and influence have made a significant difference, and we acknowledge the role you play in shaping their lives. Your support and guidance have been a source of inspiration, and we thank you for your unwavering commitment.
On this special day, we think of those who have lost their dad, it is a day of fond memories. My brother and I were so fortunate to have a wonderful father that taught us so much about values. Father's Day growing up was a happy day, as seeding was complete and there was lots to celebrate.
Let us all take a moment to remember and honor the dads who are no longer with us. Although they may not physically be present, their love and memories continue to live on in our hearts. We reflect on the moments we shared, the lessons we learned, and the lasting impact they made. They may be gone, but their spirit remains with us, guiding us as we navigate life's journey.
On this Father's Day, let us come together to express our love, gratitude, and appreciation for all the dads, step dads, big brother dads, father figures, and those dads who are no longer with us. May we cherish the time we have with them, value the lessons they teach us, and continue to carry their legacy forward.
