[F125]Fathers Day When Is

by Randy Gardner, Ran

It's my guess that as this one day a year that makes dads kings for a time arrives many others are coming to this same conclusion. Great fathers are special, one-of-a-kind gifts that small children adore, teenagers tend to abhor and adult children learn to respect with a bittersweet sense of awe. They are special not just for what they did or what they do, but also for what they didn't do.

My dad, all dads, daddies and fathers in general give their children life. Good fathers also stand watch to help mold and shape the adults those children will one day become. Wonderful fathers take time out to share hugs, smiles, good books and lessons on life. Fathers can be hard, but they have to be. Life is difficult and the lessons learned are much kinder when they come from the firm hand of a loving dad.

When this Father's Day arrives, I intend to thank my own father for all he's given me with a special present, a hug and a long overdue "I love you."

I Love You For:

All those days and late nights he spent working to give us more. He did this without a single complaint uttered in front of his children.

All the pats on the back he passed along when my star shined at school, in sports and elsewhere. It was he who really made that star shine brighter.

All the lessons about life he taught.

Taking the time to play ball, read bedtime stories and sing songs even when he had to have been tired to the bone.

Making me feel loved, special and secure.

Teaching me to be respectful of others, no matter their ages.

Helping me learn the value of a good day's work.

Taking me fishing, camping, hiking and teaching me to appreciate that I am but just a part of a much bigger picture.

Giving me the courage to look up at the sky and dream.

Just always being my dad.

It is so easy to forget to say "thank you," but this Father's Day will not go by without these two little words. All I am I owe to my father. Though he is far from perfect, he will always remain so in my eyes.

Why do children on fathers' day rack their brains as to what - gift to give dear old dad? An affectionate way to honour him is - to give him the same as you did mum on mothers day.. A simple "I love you" said with flowers on fathers' day is all it will take to make dads day special. Sadly to say, it is not until pocket money is due or a puncture on the bike needs fixing is when dad is recognised in his own home. Well now it is time to put the shoe on the other foot and the kids' wants and needs put to aside - and pointed in the direction of pops.

How do children see their dad - could it be as a part time gardener or handyman around the house? Unfortunately for some kids and recapping on those words "How do children see their dad", then sadly to say, "not a lot", if the man of the house has to work all the hours god sends to put a crust on the table. Fathers' day is the time we thank him for mowing the lawn, mending a fuse and filling our bellies.

Finding the ideal present for dad can be frustrating and especially more so if he has more than fifteen neck ties, socks, slippers or handkerchiefs from previous contributions over the years.

Surprise the man of the house this year on fathers' day and gift him with flowers. Has your dad got green fingers (keen gardener) if so, then daisy seeds/ plants make fabulous presents. If dad is labelled a couch potato by mummy then give him the latest box office DVD or music CD. Consider new frames for his glasses so he does not make a spectacle of himself with the band aid keeping the lens in place. Dads like to read, so a book or magazine on the latest sporting events is an option. An ideal father's day gift is a season ticket to watch his favourite football team or a ticket to Benidorm.

Why not accommodate his sweet tooth (if he has one) with scrumptious candy or chocolate. If daddy drives, why not buy something for his car. Father's day gifts as such can include car accessories like personalized key rings, torch, tinted visors or even cleaning products, these are all very useful items. Regardless of whatever you give dad on fathers' day, no doubt it will be warmly welcomed, but if you want it to be special as it was for mother on mothers' day then give him flowers.

Why most dads are keen gardeners is because "They Love Flowers?"

If dads plans are to celebrate fathers` day dining out with mummy and you believe "three is a crowd" if you tag along, then take a flower and wrap a little foil around the stem and place it in his buttonhole. By doing this you're presence is strong, resulting in a man - feeling so proud with the inner thought that "three is not a crowd"
