A papa bear with his sweet baby girl and boy against a heart pattern. Original design by Laurie Schneider, elements by Scrappin Doodles, Diana'z Designz. Fun facts: Modern Father's Day is an American tradition, and it was proposed by a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd. She was the daughter of an American civil war veteran who was also a single father (Sonora's mother died in childbirth). She thought that fathers deserved the same recognition as mothers, and approached the church to help her establish it. She wanted the day to be on her father's birthday, June 5th, but the third Sunday in June was chosen instead. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19th, 1910.
