Let’s pamper our dads

Fathers Day is just tomorrow, June 21, but will likely be celebrated on a low key. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) seems to have taken the shine off most of the mega celebrations that come with this special day.

Fathers Day is a celebration of all dads and a chance to show your dad that you love and appreciate him.

The day is celebrated worldwide to recognise the contribution that fathers and father figures make in the lives of their children. This day celebrates fatherhood and male parenting as well.

Although it is celebrated on different dates worldwide, many countries including Ghana, observe the day on the third Sunday of June and it typically involves gift-giving, special dinners for fathers and family-oriented activities.

If you get on with your dad, then it’s a great time to show him you care. It’s not always easy though if you don’t get on, or he has not been around for some reason. It can make the day a difficult time in the year for some people.

We often forget the sacrifices and contributions our fathers and male figures have made in our lives. Fathers Day, therefore, gives us the opportunity to show and express our love, adoration and gratitude to these special people.

For many, COVID-19 has put a spotlight on opportunities to celebrate and show their loved ones they care, especially in this era of social distancing where majority of the elderly are staying indoors to keep safe.

For us at The Mirror, building strong family relationships is very paramount because we believe a strong family gives its members the support they need to make it through life’s toughest spots.
It is for this reason that every year we bring you exciting events and promotions on such special days to celebrate your father.

This year, instead of the usual Special Fathers Day Buffet Lunch, where fathers come together to socialise and partake of discussions concerning fatherhood, finance management, parenting and investments among others, this year’s event, dubbed ‘Pamper your Dad,’ will offer children and the public the unique opportunity to celebrate their fathers in a special way.

All that is required is to surprise your father or godfather by ordering a special gift (food, clothes, among others) and that will be delivered to them as a surprise in their homes by the Graphic Courier Service under strict hygienic conditions.

When we consider all that our fathers do for us, be it providing us with our needs, helping us with our homework, among others, celebrating Fathers Day shows dad just how much we appreciate him.

Join our surprise train and leave a lasting memory on your father’s heart in these challenging COVID-19 moments.
