My dad said for Father's Day, he didn't want anything fancy.

Just a solemn family vow that his favorite 10mm socket wouldn't mysteriously vanish from his toolbox for the rest of the year.

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.

My dad's idea of retail therapy...

...is walking through the hardware store, picking up random bolts and muttering, 'I'll need this someday.'

My dad always says he doesn't need much for Father's Day, just a little quiet time and maybe a few things around the house fixed.

So this year, I let him have his quiet time... while he supervised me fixing everything on his honey-do list. He said it was perfect, because he got to relax AND teach me something.
