There are a great many
people in the world, who do jobs that are under-appreciated. Indeed, people
like nurses, teachers, lollipop ladies, counselors, outreach workers, sports
coaches and caretakers are all prime examples of people who willingly give
their all yet receive very little reward in return.
Of course, there is one glaring omission from
this less-than-comprehensive list – dads.
Dads are perhaps the most under-appreciated
people on the planet. Whilst mums may get a nice bunch of flowers, a box of chocolates,
or even some jewelry from their offspring on Mother’s Day for their
considerable and unselfish efforts; dads will get a begrudging acknowledgement
of their existence and a token gesture of a card on Father’s Day – if they’re
lucky!
Indeed, all of their efforts in providing a free
taxi service, repairing everything that gets broken, lending (giving) money,
dressing up as Santa, and being the focus of endless ridicule get acknowledged
with nothing more than a once a year generic Father’s Day card from the local
petrol station.
That’s under appreciation on a colossal scale,
especially when it is considered that personalized Father’s Day cards are now
so readily available online.
As well as being able to include memorable photos
and heart-warming messages, these thoughtful cards are quick and easy to create
so there really is no reason why any dad should go without a thoughtful treat
at least once a year!
Truly, appreciating dads
has never been so easy - or so overdue!
