No matter who you ask, if there were a competition about how many people knew when Mother's Day is and how many knew about Father's Day, the former will get more right answers. And this is usually how you will see fathers.
Often unnoticed, forgotten, not appreciated enough, and the like.
And so Father's Day becomes the special occasion where they are loved, honoured, celebrated, and given a gift or two. They feel love, recognition, and, of course, charm.
And whether a father is strict, fun-loving, silent, or expressive, he still deserves the same amount of love and care.
And in 2025, Father's Day will be celebrated on Sunday, June 15, as it is the third Sunday of June.
The day is marked by people showing their love and gratitude through gifts, cards, family time, and messages to their fathers, and some even plan surprises or make handmade cards.
Why Father's Day should be an important celebration
Short answer? Fathers are the rock of a family, in most cases, and they do everything in their power to make sure their children get the best opportunities and love. Be it early morning banting or late night motivation, a father gives it all without expecting anything in return.

How to celebrate Father's Day
This Father's Day, ditch the cliche watches and perfumes, and give your father something hearty, deep, and wholesome in a way.
For starters, write a card or letter telling your dad what he means to you, how he has always helped you, and how much you will always cherish him.

And if you don't want to do any of this, just sit with him for a while and talk.
These talks will feel like a thousand words were said in just 10, and with a heart-to-heart conversation, you will see him for who he truly is.
And so this Father's Day, here we mention some amazing quotes and messages you can send to your father to put a smile on his face.

Quotes to send to your father
'Sometimes I think my papa is an accordion. When he looks at me and smiles and breathes, I hear the notes.'
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
'To be the father of growing daughters is to understand something of what Yeats evokes with his imperishable phrase 'terrible beauty.' Nothing can make one so happily exhilarated or so frightened: it's a solid lesson in the limitations of self to realize that your heart is running around inside someone else's body. It also makes me quite astonishingly calm at the thought of death: I know whom I would die to protect and I also understand that nobody but a lugubrious serf can possibly wish for a father who never goes away.
'
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir
'What I really want to tell him is to pick up that baby of his and hold her tight, to set the moon on the edge of her crib and to hang her name up in the stars.'
― Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper
'The heart of a father is the masterpiece of nature.'
― Prevost Abbe, Manon Lescaut
'A father's tears and fears are unseen, his love is unexpressed, but his care and protection remains as a pillar of strength throughout our lives.'
― Ama H.Vanniarachchy
'Perhaps that is what it means to be a father-to teach your child to live without you.'
― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
'All fathers are invisible in daytime; daytime is ruled by mothers and fathers come out at night. Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye.'
— Margaret Atwood, Cat's Eye
I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us.
We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.
— Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum
A father is the one friend upon whom we can always rely. In the hour of need, when all else fails, we remember him upon whose knees we sat when children, and who soothed our sorrows; and even though he may be unable to assist us, his mere presence serves to comfort and strengthen us.
— Émile Gaboriau, File No. 113
