Happy father’s day. Don’t forget to call your dad today and let him know. Father’s day was thought up in 1909 in Spokane, Washington by a woman who was raised by her father. On mother’s day the idea came to her because she wanted to let him know how special he was, and how grateful she was. She picked June as that was her father’s birthday month.
