Dear,
In my opinion, it’s important to have a day to celebrate for Mom and another day for Dad.
There are a lot of reasons for celebrating these days, but the main reasons are the children will have a special day to express their feelings, their memories and their love to their parents.
I think Sunday is the most suitable day for celebrating because it’s a day off so everybody is free from work or study.
It’s necessary to have lunch or dinner with all family members. In these days, children should give their parents flowers, cakes or special gifts and cards.
I hope my idea will be supported and the day for our parents will be celebrated nationwide someday.
Yours,
