Celebration

The Father's day is on the third Sunday of June, a day where Fathers are celebrated as a way to show gratitude for a Job that for many is not easy. The concept emerged in the early 20th century, inspired by the tradition of Mother's Day.

According to history the first event of celebrating Father's was held on July 5, 1908 in a West Virginia Church to honor the hundreds of men who had died in a coal mine explosion, but it wasn't until two years later that Father's Day became official.

There are many stories we could tell about the life of a father, but I just want to mention that there are many sacrifices in family life, and often the weight of responsibility falls on the fathers who are the heads of the household. That's why on this day we can honor those fathers who, with great effort, have raised their children and given them a better future.

I would like to conclude by saying that this day is special to share with those fathers who are still fortunate enough to have them in our lives. Let’s us make them proud of their work and examples they have set for us.
