June 2010 Commentary: Father Sky’s Day

Father’s Day is a time for children to express love and thanks to their fathers. It is also a day for fathers to celebrate fatherhood and to reflect upon their responsibilities to cherish their children and to provide for their needs and security. In America, Father’s Day originated in 1910 and is celebrated annually on the third Sunday in June to honor fathers. This year of 2010 is the centennial celebration of Father’s Day festivities. At 91 years of age, my father of 60 years and I will be together happily to enjoy Father’s Day 2010—and hopefully on several more before he goes “fishing from the moon.”
