Father day’s quotes

“My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys." ~Harmon Killebrew

"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." -- Enid Bagnold
"It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures; by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all." -- Alice Walker

That is the thankless position of the father in the family-the provider for all, and the enemy of all." -- J. August Strindberg

It is a wise father that knows his own child." -- William Shakespeare

It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was." -- Anne Sexton

A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father." -- Gabriel García Márquez

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

~ Henry Ward Beecher

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

~ David Gottesman

Free Father Day Gifts

This year father’s day is on June 21.

I want to dedicate this hub to my father and all the fathers of this world.

“Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.”

I want to tell you about someone who means a great deal to me. He loves and kind, he listens, suggests, and defends. He has the strength of a mountain, and the wisdom of ages. He loved to tell me stories, he taught me to ride my bike. He surprised me with chocolates. We used to share fudge sundaes and ice cream in a cone. Dads' really do make a huge difference in my lives. I remember when I use to think my daddy was a supper hero, and that he could do anything. I use to always say, "Daddy, fix it." It wasn't a question, it wasn't a request, it was a statement. And he always tried his hardest to fix whatever needed fixing. Father's really are wonderful people. Working fathers face a unique challenge. He is trying to do it all. Carefully balancing work life with our home life.

Fathers Day is an occasion to honour our dad and express gratitude for his love and support. Most countries including US, UK, Canada and India celebrate Fathers Day on the third Sunday of June.

Father's Day give us the opportunity to express thanks to our Daddy for all their unconditional love and affection. Observance of Father's Day makes fathers feel that their contributions are acknowledged in the society and also by their children. They feel proud of themselves! Besides by celebrating Father's Day, children come closer to their father. For, most often children take love of their parents for granted.

Here are some simple gift ideas to celebrate father day:

  1. Running/Jogging: Go for a jog or run with your dad. This will make the nice starts for this day celebration. If your dad does not like to go for running or jogging skip for 2nd step
  2. Make a Breakfast: Start the days with a nice breakfast e.g. nice toast with juice. Breakfast in bed is a traditional way to tell someone you love him. Nothing is quite as comforting as having a friend or family member get up early just to cook something special for you. It makes a person feel loved and cherished beyond words. Father's Day breakfast should include two to three foods your dad loves. If you don't know what Dad's favourite breakfast foods are, ask him, but do it subtly, so that he won't suspect the surprise you have in store for him.Get up at least half an hour before your father usually awakens. Then, start cooking. If you time it right, you can bring breakfast into his bedroom just as he's opening his eyes.
  3. Phone Call –I think it is good idea to call him on father days to wish him good health and long life. I usually call him every week so on father days I have same routine.
  4. Flowers- Create a homemade bouquet of roses/flowers. Present this before dinner
  5. Dinner-Prepare a nice dinner for dad. Prepare all dad favourite dishes.Have a family dinner together
  6. Hubpage/Blog-Create a Hubpages or blog about dad.
  7. Watch some old family videos/DVD- Set aside a night to watch with your mother old family videos/DVD. This way we will all remember our past time.
  8. Dad’s TV Time- Let the father watch his favourite programs. Enjoy the TV programs with him.
  9. Fishing or Golf trip- Have family trip for fishing or golfing.
  10. Hug: Give him a hug - A big big one
  11. Garage/Room Cleaning- When father comeback from work clean his garage and his room
  12. Free Email card on Father days-Send him free email cards with following personalized messages:

“Daddy is my special friend;
The two of us are buddies.
I always like the things we do,
I'm thankful for my daddy”

“Thank you, Dad
Thanks for loving me.
Hugs and kisses, hugs and kisses,
Comes to you from me.
Thank you, Dad
Thank you, Dad
you are such a friend.
On this day I'd like to say,
On you I can depend.”

“Happy Fathers Day to you
Day to you, day to you
Happy Fathers Day to you
I Love You!!
Hugs and Kisses just for you
Just for you, just for you
Hugs and Kisses just for you
I Love You!! “

“Father's Day Is a very special day.
Here's a great big hug
And lots of kisses too.
Each one says that I love you!”

“I love you Papa. I know I am very rude at times but my love for you is endless. I cannot survive in this world if I don't have your support and love. Please forgive me for my wrong deeds”

“Dear Papa
Love you a lot. Thank you for every thing you did for me.”

“You are the greatest dad in the whole world. I always see a friend in you and consider myself to be the luckiest daughter. Be like this forever. I love you a lot.”

“father is a source of strength,
A teacher and a guide,
The one his family looks up to
With loving trust and pride...
A father is a helper
With a willing hand to lend,
A partner, an adviser,
And the finest kind of friend”

“Thank you for the laughter,
For the good times that we share,
Thanks for always listening,
For trying to be fair.

Thank you for your comfort,
When things are going bad,
Thank you for the shoulder,
To cry on when I'm sad.

This poem is a reminder that
All my life through,
I'll be thanking Heaven
For a Special Dad like you."

 Funny

One evening a little girl and her parents were sitting around the table eating supper. The little girl said, "Daddy, you're the boss, aren't you?" Her Daddy smiled, pleased, and said yes. The little girl continued "That's because Mummy put you in charge, right?"

"Daddy, Daddy, can I have another glass of water please?"
"But I've given you 10 glasses of water already!"
"Yes, but the bedroom is still on fire!"

What did the father ghost say to the naughty baby ghost?
Spook when you're spooken to!

Why do golfers take an extra pair of socks?
In case they get a hole in one!

What do you call two people who embarrass you in front of your friends?
Mum and Dad!

How many ears did Davy Crockett have?
Three: a left ear, a right ear, and a wild frontier!

My Dad thinks he wears the trousers in our house, but it's always Mum who tells him which pair to put on!

Do fathers always snore?
No - only when they are asleep!

Today nearly 100 years have elapsed since the first father's Day was celebrated. Fathers of 1900 didn't have it nearly as good as fathers of today; but they did have a few advantages: In 1900, fathers prayed their children would learn English.
Today, fathers pray their children will speak English.

In 1900, a father's horsepower meant his horses.
Today, it's the size of his minivan.

In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family's head, he was a success. Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and 4-car garage. And that's just the vacation home.

In 1900, a father waited for the doctor to tell him when the baby arrived. Today, a father must wear a smock, know how to breathe, and make sure film is in the video camera.

In 1900, fathers passed on clothing to their sons. Today, kids wouldn't touch Dad's clothes if they were sliding naked down an icicle.

In 1900, fathers could count on children to join the family business. Today, fathers pray their kids will soon come home from college long enough to teach them how to work the computer and set the VCR.

In 1900, a father smoked a pipe.
If he tries that today, he gets sent outside after a lecture on throat cancer.

In 1900, fathers shook their children gently and whispered, "Wake up, it's time for school."
Today, kids shake their fathers violently at 4 a.m., shouting: "Wake up; it's time for baseball practice."

In 1900, a father came home from work to find his wife and children at the supper table.
Today, a father comes home to a note: "Jimmy's at baseball, Cindy's at gymnastics, I'm at adult-Ed, Pizza in fridge."

In 1900, fathers and sons would have heart-to-heart conversations while fishing in a stream.
Today, fathers pluck the headphones off their sons' ears and shout, "WHEN YOU HAVE A MINUTE
