Every year, the third Sunday of June is celebrated as Fathers Day. This year it will be on 15th June 2025, Sunday. On this day, we pause to celebrate the most important pillar of our families- our fathers! These gentlemen are full of strength, wisdom, and silent sacrifice.
For me personally, Father’s Day 2025 is more than just another occasion; it’s a heartfelt reminder to recognize the man who has shaped my life with love, grit, guidance, patience and resilience. He has taught me to not give up no matter what the situation is and that’s what has made me into the person who I am today.
Why Father’s Day Matters
Fathers are often the ones who work behind the scenes. They are like the wheels of the car which is moving towards the destination. They will take all the troubles, sacrifice every bit of themselves for their kids without complaining. Whether it’s waking up early to go to work, staying late to help with your homework, fixing broken things around the house, or working hard to get the means met or silently worrying about our future — their contributions often go unnoticed.
Fathers are the role models who walk the talk ! They won’t brag about what they do, so I personally feel that Father’s Day is not just about gifting neckties or exchanging some gifts with your father. It’s about saying, “I see you. I appreciate you. I love you.”
Most of the time we praise loud expressions, so on this Fathers day, let’s take the opportunity to acknowledge the quiet strength of our fathers — be it our biological dads, stepdads, adoptive fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and father figures who play a vital role in our emotional and moral growth.
Easy tips to surprise your Father on this Fathers Day !!
1. Spend Quality Time
Time is the most precious gift. It’s a Sunday so start the day by spending time with your father. Go for a walk together or watch a movie, or just sit down and have a long conversation. Your presence can do all the magic ! Nothing can beat a father-child bond
2. Quickly create something unique and special
Create anything which shows how much he means to you. It could be a card with you and your father’s photo from childhood days or when he used to be young. You can write a heartfelt note to him expressing how much he means to you.
If you are a boy child then you may find doing any of the above difficult as guys have less tendency to express. So you can use the Kinzy app to create a customized hero story for your father. You can also use Zoomin or any other tool to upload old photos, video clips, and audio messages from you or other family members and create a beautiful memory lane for your day.
Trust me, your dad will love it !!
3. Surprise him with a vacation plan
Take him out or give him a surprise vacation. Let him and your mum go around and enjoy themselves like old times. Or if he is not a travel guy, then let them just relax at home, tell them that you can handle some of his daily responsibilities for the day — be it mowing the lawn, taking care of errands or anything.
Let him relax and enjoy some well-deserved rest.
4. Gift him something what he really likes
It could be a diary and pen or a radio with his favorite music or a watch if he loves watches. You could buy him a nice pair of shoes. Price really doesn’t matter, what is important is the intent. So remember, all you have to do is the effort to make him know how much he really matters to you..
5. Recreate this special day for him
They say the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Make his favorite dish or surprise him with breakfast in bed or call all his old school friends or family together and host a special get-together for him to honor how much he means to you.
This Year, Let’s Tell Their Stories
Dads don’t always say what they feel, they will keep hiding their emotions, as per the society, they are the ones who are supposed to be the strongest. But they will show how they feel by doing things for us, it could be staying up late fixing things, or taking us for our examinations and waiting outside the exam hall for us to come back or going with us for our swimming classes.
This Father’s Day, don’t just celebrate. Document it. Share it. Preserve it. Click some fancy random pictures with your father. Speak your heart out to your dad – Let him father know that “he means the world to you” or what value has he built into you. What a wonderful person he is, because of who you are who you are
Lastly..
In the hustle of daily life, it’s easy to take our fathers for granted. But Father’s Day gives us a golden opportunity to slow down, reflect, and give back some of the love they’ve selflessly given us. This June 15, 2025, let’s celebrate the silent heroes — not just with gifts, but with gratitude, time, and love.
Give them a hug, say thank you ! Make your dad feel like the legend he is. He deserves more than one day — but let’s make June 15, 2025, a start.
To all the fathers and father figures out there — thank you. You are appreciated more than words can say.
