Any man can be a Father, but it takes a special person to be called Dad.

55 countries around the world celebrate Father’s Day on the 3rd Sunday in June . Father’s Day originated in Spokane, Washington in 1909 when Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. Her father was born in June, so she planned and held the first Father’s Day in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
