Father's day is celebrated worldwide on the third Sunday of June.
In one way or the other, we all are thankful to our fathers (or father figures in some cases) for their immense love and support.
All the emotional social media posts and messages are proof.
Well, I'm all for feelings and emotions but I also feel that it should not end there.
