Father’s Day is a day reserved for recognizing and celebrating fathers who dedicate their lives to their children. Whether it’s a biological father, stepdad, foster dad, adoptive dad, or grandad, we show our love and appreciation for their dedication to fatherhood through gift-giving and thoughtful messages that try to convey how we feel about that special person. Although it is often a day filled with joy and happiness, Father’s Day can also be difficult for some who don’t get the privilege of hearing their child say those 3 precious words.
