5 reasons why you might want to consider skipping a restaurant on Father’s Day
While restaurant reservation books are usually filled for Mother’s Day, there traditionally isn’t as much ink required for those same books on Father’s Day, according to one website. Father’s Day does see an uptick for restaurant activity, according to Womply, which said the holiday brings in 22% more revenue for restaurants. In fact, only 29% of fathers surveyed said they wanted to be taken out to eat on Father’s Day, according to Zagat. While they’re happy to spoil mothers on their special day and spend money at a restaurant, many fathers said they’d prefer to keep some money in the bank, Father’s Day or no Father’s Day. Cooking up some burgers or hot dogs is a joy for many fathers, and Father’s Day provides a great excuse to do exactly that.

How to Survive a Rip Current
Ali Joy lost her husband, Charles, on Father's Day weekend last year when he ran into the water to save their twin daughters caught in a rip current. Now, Joy is spreading the word about the dangers of rip currents and how to stay safe if you get caught in one. A rip current is a powerful, narrow, fast-moving channel of water that moves from the beach and extends out into the ocean. She's on a campaign called Float Don't Fight, urging people to stay calm and float in the water until the current dissipates. If you fight against the rip, it could tire you out and leave you fighting for your life.

Why did it take so long for Fathers Day to be created?
So, what on earth took so long for Fathers Day to be a recognized event in the United States? The federal government certainly was opposed to the official creation of Fathers Day for the longest time, despite numerous initial attempts to have a Fathers Day established. For decades, Congress rejected attempts to make Fathers Day an official holiday, but slowly, over that time, that sentiment changed as the role of fathers evolved. According to the National Retail Federation, roughly $15 billion was spent on Fathers Day in 2018. No doubt, Fathers Day has come a long way from its surprising decades of resistance.

Father and daughter perfect match for kidney transplant
MIAMI- FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. – This Father's Day was more memorable for Patrick Bachelier than in years past. Instead of celebrating with a traditional card and dinner, his daughter, Jacqueline Bachelier, gave him a kidney. He received a kidney transplant in 2014, but became desperately in need of another donor when he began to experience kidney failure. His daughter Jacqueline learned that she was a 100 percent match and knew exactly what she had to do. Doctors at the Miami Transplant Institute said there are high rates of rejection by the immune system if you have already received a transplant.
