I got my dad a personalized weather station for Father's Day, thinking it would satisfy his obsession with forecasting the weather.

Now he just complains that the actual weather isn't following his forecast.

We asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day, thinking of something relaxing.

He just sighed and said, 'About five hours alone in the garage to finally sort those screws by thread size.'

My dad always said his greatest talent was being able to fix anything around the house.

And while he did master everything from leaky faucets to wobbly chairs, his real superpower was always knowing how to fix a bad day, usually with a groan-worthy dad joke and a hug that somehow glued everything back together.

I asked my dad for one piece of life advice he'd learned over the years, as a Father's Day gift.

He paused, thought for a long moment, and then said, 'Always make sure your phone is charged before you leave the house. Because that way, you can always call home.' My heart melted a little.
