Happy Father's Day

A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, WA, thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Her father, Henry Jackson Smart, had raised Sonora after her mother died and she wanted him to know how special he was to her. Her father was born in June, so she chose June to celebrate Father’s Day.
