I asked my dad to write a letter to his future self for Father's Day, and when I read it, I found out why he's always been so patient with me.

It said, 'Dear future self, by now you've figured out that all those times you thought you were teaching your kids something, they were actually teaching you patience, forgiveness, and what it means to love unconditionally. Happy Father's Day.'

I asked my dad what he was most proud of as a father on Father's Day

He said it wasn't the achievements or milestones, but the fact that I still come to him for advice, even though I never take it

I decided to make a photo album for my dad on Father's Day, filling it with pictures of all the memories we've made together over the years

As he flipped through the pages, he got tears in his eyes and said, 'This is the best gift I've ever gotten – mostly because it's proof that I've been right all along, and I really am the coolest dad in all these photos.'

I once asked my dad how he always knew the way home, even before GPS existed.

He just winked and said, 'It's easy. I always know the way back to you kids.' And that's the best navigation system a dad can have.
