It’s necessary for us to have a day to celebrate for our parents. On that day, children will express their feelings and loves to their parents. Moreover, we have an opportunity to enhance family traditions and members of families can get together. I suggest we can hold this special day on Sunday, April because at that time, the weather is fine. It isn’t necessary to have parties but it’s good idea to have lunch or dinner with all members of the family. Children should give their parents flowers, cards and a special cake. They also serve their parents the food that they like best. I believe my idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents and wants their parents to be happy.
