It is that time of the year, when you sit down and recall what all sacrifices your father has made in his life to make you the person you are. It is that time, when you acknowledge and appreciate your father’s significant presence in your life, and thank him a zillion times for every single thing he has done for you. It is ‘Father’s Day’!
