Suggested writing:
In my opinion, it is necessary to have a day to celebrate for our parents. The children should have a special day to express their feelings, memories and love for their parents. We will have an opportunity to enhance family traditions as well as a chance to get all members of families together in order to bring them closer.
I believe my idea will be supported and I hope it will be celebrated nationwide someday because every body loves their parents and wants them to be happy.

I think first Sunday of April is the most suitable day to celebrate because Sunday is a day off so everybody is free from work or study. It is not necessary to have parties. Children should give their parents flowers, send cards and bring a special cake on that day. Children also should serve their parents the food ( which / that) they like best.
