A story about my father
Father was my first teacher and is my dear friend. When I was a little girl, I used to sit on my father’s knees, listening to his stories. The story “Two friends and a Bear” told me “ a friend in need is a friend indeed.” I will never forget the story “Madame Curie” which tells me a truth “where there is a will, there is a way.” Father’s stories enriched my life and did a lot of good to my growth.
When I was seven years old, I started primary school. I was young, so my father picked me up from school every day. On the way, I told father everything that happened at school. Father listened carefully and always smiled happily. Sometimes I sang a beautiful song. My sweet and lovely voice gave my father the greatest pride. My father is always proud of me. He hopes I will make great progress in my study. Now I have made up my mind to study harder and harder.
I’m sure my father’s love will lead me to my success and I will love him forever!

Fifty years ago this spring we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.
I didn’t know then that I would remember that day for the rest of my life. This week, we’ll plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. And the funny thing about it is, well, I don’t know quite how to tell you this, Dad...I don’t even like kohlrabi...but I like planting it with you.
I guess what I’m trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a Father on Father’s Day is about more than a Dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school functions, graduations, and weddings. It isn’t even so much about kohlrabi, ’54 Chevrolets, and fly-fishing. It’s more about unconditionally loving children who are snotty and stubborn, who know everything and won’t listen to anyone. It’s about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It’s about loving someone more than words can say,and it’s wishing that it never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
五十年前的一個春天,我們在依阿華州查理斯市的一個花園一起栽下苤藍菜。
當時我也不知道我以後會懷念那一天。這一週,我們還要在一起栽苤藍菜,這是第二次。也許,這是最後一次,可我並不希望那樣。我不明白為什麼我和您一起栽苤藍菜我會感到很有意義,可事實上就有意義。而且,關於這個,有個有意思的事情,可我不知道該怎麼和您說這事,爸爸…… 我不喜歡苤藍菜……但是,我卻喜歡和您一起栽苤藍菜。
爸爸,我想我想要說的話是每個作兒女的今天想和他們爸爸要說的話。過“父親節”,給父親這麼一個大的榮譽,決不是因為爸爸給家裡掙多少錢,和家人一起共進晚餐,參加學校活動,參加畢業典禮和婚禮的原因,也不止是一起栽苤藍菜,開雪拂蘭’54車和飛蠅釣魚的事,也不止是您毫無理由地愛那些流鼻涕又很淘氣,而且什麼都懂,就是不聽話的小孩。這就是尊重對方,分享快樂,認同和忍受他人,給予和接受吧,您對別人的愛也是不能用言語來表達的,希望這些永不終止。
爸爸,我愛您……

The Origin of Father's Day
Father's Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males, just as Mother's Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Father's Day is celebrated on different days in different countries.
Father's Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Father's Day is celebrated on Saint Joseph's Day, March 19, though in most countries Father's Day is a secular celebration.
In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other children's programs commonly have activities to make Father's Day gifts.
In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the celebration of Father's Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston, Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis's efforts to establish Mother's Day. Although she initially suggested June 5, the anniversary of her father's death, she did not provide the organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane.
Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Father's Day a holiday to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
