I decided to take my dad on a road trip for Father's Day to all the places that held special memories for him, from his childhood home to where he first met my mom.

As we drove, he turned to me and said, 'You know, I've been to all these places before, but this is the first time I've seen them through the eyes of someone who loves me as much as I love them.'

My dad spends more time in his garage than he does in the living room.

I'm pretty sure he's not just fixing things, he's actively trying to achieve enlightenment through socket wrench organization.

I got my dad a personalized 'World's Okayest Dad' t-shirt for Father's Day

Now he wears it every time he's in charge of the grill, and says it's a 'temperature-ally' accurate description

For Father's Day, I got my dad a fancy new digital thermometer for his grill, thinking it would help him achieve perfect temperatures every time.

He just glanced at it, put his hand over the flames, and said, 'Hi, hot, I'm Dad, and I can tell this isn't hot enough yet!'
