Father's day.

“It's nice to know all I have to do is say the word and you're all over it!” reads the greeting card. On the inside: “Especially the sofa!”
One guess whether that's a card for Mother's Day or Father's Day.

Today is father's day in US. This article tells about how Father's day is originated and current tendency; somewhat different way of celebrating Mother's day.
After I read this article,even though we don't have a separated celebration day of each parent
(we just have a 'Parent's day') I could have same opinion with a writer considering the other events like birthday, Christmas that I had to show my love and thankfulness. Like writer says that general people in America, have tendency to show their thankfulness to them less them than they do on Mother's day. Unlike the past, many fathers do as many as mothers do in taking caring children. Nevertheless, many people especially children thinks that fathers would not really care about the thing we give him or think of this day as a big day but actually it is not true; fathers also care about this as much as our mothers do. Reflecting the time when I prepare small gifts for mother and Father, to tell the truth, I could much spend much time thinking about what I could buy for mother than a father because I used to think that mother is more sensitive in the way of celebrating her day and on the other hand, father would not take it seriously.
After I read this article, I could realized the truth and I regret and feel sorry for Father.

I think this is true for lots of people when they are younger because they tend to think of mothers are taking better care of them, spending more times, etc. It is as we get older that we start to appreciate our fathers more (especially girls when they start to date more- Dad comes off pretty good by comparison sometimes!)

And we start to think of little way to show Dad we care. So don't worry, Yuri. Your dad knows, trust me!
