Fathers Day is a special time to celebrate dads, grandfathers, uncles or anyone who plays a father figure in our lives.

It is a day to say “thank you” to the men who love, guide and support us every day.

In Malaysia and other parts of the world, Fathers Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June, which is this Sunday.

On this day, many children give cards, write poems and spend quality time with their dads. Some families go out for a meal, while others prepare a simple surprise at home.

Our fathers may be quiet, but they work hard to support us. They wake up early in the morning, go to work, fix things around the house and always try to provide the best for their families.

They may not always say it out loud, but they care very deeply and only want the best for us.

Even if we cannot afford fancy gifts, we can still show our fathers how much we love them. A big hug, kind words or a handmade card can mean the world to them. You can even help around the house or cook his favourite meal with your mother.

Some children may not live with their dads or may have lost them.

Fathers Day is also a time to remember the good memories and be thankful for the love we have received.

Whether your dad is serious or playful, strict or lenient, Fathers Day a good day to tell him you love him.

Don’t be shy, just say, “Thank you, Dad! I love you!”

We received many letters from Starchild readers on the topic, Fathers Day, and we will publish the second batch of letters next week.

“Dear Daddy, Happy Fathers Day. I love you so much. Thank you for taking me to fun places and for always helping me. When I feel scared, you help me feel brave. You are the best father ever,” says Swee Chen Xi, seven.

Jayden Tan Li Sheng, 12, writes, “For this year’s Fathers Day, we are planning to cook his favourite dish as a family. I will create a menu card that says, ‘Today’s Special: Dad’s Favourite, made with love.’ Together with my mother and siblings, we will start the day with a special brunch. In the evening, we will also fire up the barbeque set for a fun outdoor cookout, followed by a family game night with card games; one of Dad’s favourite ways to spend time with our whole family and cousins. Last but not least, I want to say: Dad, I wish you good health always, and I love you forever. Wishing all fathers around the world a Happy Fathers Day!”
