Father's Day was started by the daughter of a widowed man, who selflessly and lovingly looked after his heart broken children as they faced life without their mother. William J Smart lived in Washington, USA and it was in 1909, whilst his daughter Sonora was listening to a Mother's Day sermon that she came up with the idea. It wasn't until 1972 that Father's Day earned a permanent national observance thanks to President Nixon. Since then, Father's Day has become a worldwide holiday, giving children everywhere a chance to show their father's how much they are loved and appreciated.
