The Father's Day is a day for fathers. The idea for the Father's Day (start) in 1909. A woman named Sonora Dodd thought about (have) a Father's Day while she was listening to Mother's Day speech at church. She wanted (give) her father, William Smart, a special day.

    Mr Smart's wife died while she was giving birth their sixth child. He raised the baby and his other five children on a farm.

    When Sonora Dodd became an adult, she understood kind and loving her father was while he was raising his six children alone. She believed her father worked very hard to make sure his children were (health) and strong.

    The first Father's Day celebration was held 19 June. 1910. Since then, the (three) Sunday in June became a national Father's Day in America. In early times, people wore red roses to show respect for fathers were still living and white flowers for fathers that had passed away. Today, Americans celebrate Father's Day in many different ways. No matter how the holiday is celebrated, the idea is for children to let their father know that he is loved.
