It should be Father's Day every day

Love it or hate it US expat Dan Franch gets three shots at Father's Day. It's just a shame his kids don't remember.

Another Father’s Day has come and gone. Celebrated on October 7 here in The Grand Duchy, it passed with little fanfare. I saw no advertisements nor did I hear anyone talking about it. If you didn’t notice, don’t despair. There’s a pretty good chance that the country you come from has its own date set aside for fathers.

It was an American woman who concocted Father’s Day as a complement to another American inauguration – Mother’s Day - way back in the early 1900s.
