If Mother is Wonder Woman, Father would be the "KING" of the kingdom in his household. Father’s masculine and strong back reflected in his children’s eyes represents his efforts in providing for the family and protecting his children by keeping the storm outside. The “King” may not necessarily show his feelings openly, but his children perceive his love with full heart nonetheless. In response to the International Father’s Day in June, the independent international news media, the Global People Daily News (GPDN), created an online program "My King Daddy, Happy Father's Day!" featuring stories of fathers and children and would like to share them with you. Let’s see how Dads’ legacy gets passed down to the next generation in their children’s kingdom through these stories, touching poems, and actions full of love.
