On Father's Day, I decided to give my dad the gift of a personalized photo album filled with pictures of his grandkids.

As he flipped through the pages, he got teary-eyed and said, 'This is the best gift I've ever received – mainly because it's the only thing they've ever made that doesn't have glue on it.'

My dad spent all Saturday in the garage, and when I asked him what he was working on, he said

nothing, just maintaining a 20-year relationship with his toolbox

I asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day.

He just wants an afternoon at the hardware store with no specific project in mind, just 'inspiration browsing'.

I asked my dad what he's looking forward to most as he gets older on Father's Day, and he smiled

He said, 'being called grandpa, because that's the only time I'll be able to give advice without being asked for it.'
