My dad told me he wanted a very specific Father's Day gift: something that would help him maintain optimal home comfort.

So I got him a sweater, and he said, 'Perfect! Now I can finally turn the thermostat down even lower without anyone complaining.'

I once told my dad he didn't say 'I love you' enough.

He just walked over, silently fixed the leaky faucet I'd been ignoring for weeks, and then left a freshly brewed cup of coffee on my desk. And you know what? I've never felt more loved.

I asked my dad to teach me his secret to always knowing the right thing to say, no matter the situation, and he smiled and said

it's not about having all the answers, it's about being there to ask the questions together

For Father's Day, I told my dad I was feeling generous and wanted to buy him something extravagant.

He looked at me and said, "Hi generous, I'm dad!"
