but this year with the corona virus pandemic taking its toll on the country we will bow our heads and remember all the people who we have lost this year to the coronavirus a spell our heads for a few minutes then on June 21 we've had Father's Day this is the day to honor dad and a day to enjoy time with dead and appreciate all he does for you what dad really wants us healthy happy and successful kids and he wants them to spend a few moments with him on Father's Day today's lifestyle is busy for both dads and kids so little time with dad on Father's Day is just what he wants the father is the person who cares provides for his wife and family he is the man who helps set the standards the family values in the example so attitude the scooper stepfathers and other men who willingly and eagerly accept and cherish the role whether their biological adopted or informal dads if they are the father figures give them some recognition on Father's Day do not hesitate to call them dad buy them a gift like a new shirt have a barbecue let them lounge in their easy chair on the beach and spend some time with him not be Father's Day to all dads around the world thank you so much for stopping by or
