A Day For Daddy Dearest

It seems to me that fathers get the short end of the stick around this time of year. No one gets all fussy over what to buy their dad for Father’s Day or where to find Father’s Day brunch on the 15th of June.

Mom may have birthed you, but we cannot forget to honour the man in our life who is there to guide us, protect us and teach us right from wrong. Father’s Day is a great time to get a little more creative with your presents for Dad.

Dad may not be all mushy like Mom, but that doesn’t mean he loves you any less. Let’s make sure he gets the recognition he deserves. As I look for a picture of dads to go with this blog, I realize that the word “Dad” has some very strong themes, no matter where you are in the world. Dads are strong and brave. They are also fun and a little silly at times. They can inspire us and push us to do thing even if they don’t say anything. They show us their love all the time, even if it’s not in a hugs-and-kisses way.

So let’s get Dad something he will actually use or appreciate. Why not get outside and throw a ball around like you used to when you were younger? Or get him something for all those barbeques he makes during the summer. Add to his collection of books or antiques. Just make sure he gets the appreciation he deserves, because sometimes Dads in general can get a bad rep.

Here at Yahoo! Canada Answers, we are helping you remember how great your Dad is by asking, What’s the best advice your father gave you?

  1. Father’s Day is related to mother’s day
    This time is honor fathers from around the world
    on their special day.

    I am attempting to do a poem

    mother’s day is easier
    but now its father’s day.

  3. well it seams to me that we have the same problems, But remeber no matter what your mom and dad is still your parents, you say you hat your parents ,so why do you try so hard to send them pomes ,gifts, it seems you still love them ,But I wont you to remeber what they did in the past , you or any one eles can not change the past, buy live your life in the past it is only holding you back from makeing a good lift for your selft,and you flamily so stop and thing thy might of had the same parents that you have now. grens follow in the same way. My partents we bad to me to but let god be there jude and move on . I hope that this will help you to under stand them better, I know how hard it is to exsepted this but that life it has is ups and downs ,but be srtong and go on with the flow ,holding on to the past will only hold you back from making a good life for you , most of all they will be very prod of what you be come in this hard life, so I hope this responded help you to under stand that life is not a bed of rose all the time.
