Parents’ Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of every July to shower love and compassion towards parents who sacrifice many of their desires to provide their children everything they dream of. On this day, people express their gratefulness towards parents for their commitment to bring up their child in a safe environment.
The day falls two months after Mother’s Day in May, and a month after Father’s Day in the June. Although it is celebrated in the most part of the world, it’s not a public holiday.
Parents play a vital role in the lives of children. They serve as role models for their children. We seek guidance from them and always look up to them for life advice.
According to parentsday.com, “In 114, Congress unanimously passed “The Parent’s Day Resolution” establishing the fourth Sunday of July as a potential day of commemoration.”
“On this day each year, Americans recognize outstanding parents, celebrate their teamwork in raising children, and support the role of parental guidance in building a strong, stable society.”
To make your parents feel special, you can just visit them or plan a little get together to reminisce old memories. However, amid the ongoing fear of novel coronavirus, the best you can do is take care of them and celebrate the day by cooking their favourite meals or by just watching their favourite movie together.
