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!"

My dad's perfect Father's Day usually involves him disappearing into the garage for a bit.

He says he's 'meditating,' but I think he's just making sure his wrenches haven't changed size since last Tuesday.

When I was a kid, I asked my dad if he believed in superheroes.

He just looked at me, grunted, and said, 'Only the ones who change tires, conquer spreadsheets, and occasionally grill a perfect burger.' Then he ruffled my hair, and for a second, I thought I saw his cape.

My dad's signature BBQ dish involves a lot of smoke, some burnt ends, and a side of optimistic pronouncements.

But every time he lights that grill, you know he's really just igniting a day full of family, laughter, and a whole lot of love.
