"The holiday was established in Spokane,Wash., in 1910-a response of sorts to Mothers Day, but also to a particular set of circumstances . Sonora Smart Dodd kicked of the practice to celebrate her own father a Civil War veteran whom, following the death of his wife,raised six children -one less then Mick-all by himself . William Jackson Smart became mother and father because he had to,giving his life so his children could thrive."
