Father's Day
June 21st is Father's Day. It is a day of commemoration and celebration of Dad -the special man in our life. We often forget the sacrifice of our fathers and the roles they have played in shaping our lives. Father's Day gives us the opportunity to show and express our love and care to this man, who deserves our support most. Father’s Day is the most appropriate platform to make us look beyond 'our own' family and honour the man who brought us joy and happiness. Father's Day is a day to honour not only your father, but all men who have acted as a father figure in your life - whether as Stepfathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, or "Big Brothers." When you need to select a gift for your dad, it can be quite an ordeal.
