Celebrate Father’s Day remotely
Father’s Day is one of those times when not all families have a chance to get together.
The living estranged from the family is difficult and sometimes painful . When special dates such as Christmas parties or birthdays arrive, we can end up being carried away by melancholy and turning the days of celebration into a sad moment not only for ourselves but for other people from whom we are separated.
The Day of the Father is one of those moments that not all families are able to meet . In the case of Spain, it is not a holiday in a large part of the autonomous communities, so those who live in different cities may have a difficult time celebrating it.
LIVING APART FROM FAMILY IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT
Today there are many families that for work reasons or certain family situations cannot live together or have to travel frequently , so the possibilities of being separated on certain dates such as Father’s Day are numerous.
If you know in advance that this is going to happen, it is best to think of a plan, some time ago. The new technologies become these days in our great allies because we feel close to allow those of us who are physically separated.

PARENTS WHO WORK OUTSIDE
In the case of having small children, they can even more blame having their father at a distance on a certain day as opposed to their friends who can spend Father’s Day with him. To prevent this from being the case and win at a distance , the complicity of the mother or the person who cares for the child in the absence of the father will be needed .
That they cannot be together that day does not mean that they cannot see each other . Nothing better than a good videoconference chat. There are many possibilities that computers, tablets and smartphones offer us today to see our faces while we talk even if we are on the other side of the world. So much so that you can do much more than talk, you can even share a meal separated by the screen of one of these electronic devices. It will be something special and unique.
THE CELEBRATION CAN ALSO OCCUR AT A LATER OR EARLIER DATE
ADULT CHILDREN
When the children are older, their work reasons may prevent them from celebrating Father’s Day with their father. When you are older you do not have the same emotional dependence on your parents as when you are a child . It is also more flexible to, for example, change the day of celebration to Father’s Day.
You can postpone the celebration, and even extend it, to a special weekend in which the family gathers or organize a small trip to take advantage of to spend more time together . If there is enough budget and there are several siblings, they can take advantage and that this trip is the joint gift of all for the father.
GIFTS
A fundamental part of Father’s Day is the giving of gifts . That is something that, despite being at a distance from each other, does not have to be lost. You can resort to the conventional mail or a courier company if we are in a hurry of time and leave the purchases to the last minute.
In the case of organizing a video conference between the son and the father, the latter can even open the gift in front of the screen, so that the child does not lose his reaction when he discovers what he has sent. Writing a loving letter or an email in the case of the most modern, as well as sending a congratulation are other detailed possibilities that surely make the father especially excited .
