Father’s Day, June 20, 2010, Happy Father’s Day To All Of You

“Fathers like Mothers, are not born.  Men grow into Fathers and fathering is a very important stage in their development.”

I was coming out of a parking lot, when out of the corner, a family was passing me by.  Single line, Mother leading the way and Father watching their backs. 

I could not believe it, but what a tender moment!!  I knew those 2 pictures were going on the post.

We celebrate Dad.  Not only our fathers, but all men who have acted as father figures in someone’s life; Uncles, Stepfathers, Grandfathers, Adult Male Friends and even Big Brothers.

The first Father’s Day was observed on 6/19/1910 in Spokane, Washington.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day.  But, it was not until 1966, when President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father’s Day.

So, I wish the best to all of those Fathers that serve as role models to all children.  Thanks so much!!

Have a Great  Week-End and, of course, A Wonderful Father’s Day!!!

Talk to you soon, as usual…..
