    父亲节的由来(迟发了一个月……)

    人们在庆祝母亲节的同时,并没有忘记父亲的功绩。早在1909年,住在华盛顿的JohnB.Dodd夫人,便首次提出父亲节的想法。

    当时,她希望有一个特别的日子,来向她的父亲WilliamSmart先生表达敬意。WilliamSmart先生是一个参加过南北战争的老兵。他的妻子,也就是JohnB.Dodd夫人的母亲,在生第六个孩子时不幸去世。WilliamSmart先生自此成了鳏夫。在华盛顿东部的一个乡村农场中,他独自一人抚养大了这个新生儿和其他五个孩子。

    直到成年以后,JohnB.Dodd夫人才意识到,她的父亲在养育儿女的过程中所付出的坚强和无私。于是给当地一家教士协会写信,建议把6 月的第三个星期日定为父亲节。该协会将建议提交会员讨论,获得了通过。1910年6月19日,华盛顿Spokane镇的人们庆祝了首个父亲节。当时,凡是父亲已故的人都佩戴一朵白玫瑰,父亲在世的人则佩戴红玫瑰。这种习俗一直流传至今。但是开始时父亲节的日期各不相同,而且有的地方用蒲公英作为父亲节的象征,有的地方则用衬有一片绿叶的白丁香作为父亲节的象征。直到1924年,在美国总统CalvinCoolidge的支持下,父亲节成为全国性的节日。1966年,LyndonJohnson总统签署总统令,宣布将每年6月的第3个星期天定为父亲节。

     

    让我们这些不在父母身边的孩子,遥祝亲爱的爸爸节日快乐,与妈妈一道健康、快乐每一天。

    也许此时送给您的礼物只是告诉您:“爸,我现在挺好的,请不要挂念!女儿终将长大。”

    如果不是你和JOY的提醒,我真的以为这个周日就是父亲节了,估计八成还会打电话给我爸过去祝福节日快乐。到时候我爸肯定一头雾水了:“不是上个月打过电话了嘛?这个丫头~
