What are some good Fathers Day card sayings?
It depends on who you are giving it to. If you are giving it to someone who doesn't laugh at jokes that are modern than don't give them one with more modern stuff in or on it. ---- Please don't get a joke card. In my 20+ years of working with fathers, it has been rare that a joke card that makes fun of his abilities is really appreciated.

Why aren't Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrated on one day?
* Each has given so much to their children in different areas that they deserve a day for themselves. On Mother's Day the father should honor his wife for their child/children; and on Father's Day the mother should honor her husband for his role in raising the child/children.
* Can you imagine walking in with a expensive gift for mom, but a cheap one for dad on the same day? Than there's the long distance calls to mom, but than hanging up to make a collect call to dad (highest day of the year, even now). Then there's all the news reports on the roundup of deadbeat dads. They may be forced to also show arrests of deadbeat moms.

She wanted a special day to honour her father, William Smart who had become a widower when his wife died in childbirth with their sixth child. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man.
