I asked my dad to teach me how to fix a broken appliance for Father's Day, so I could finally learn from the master of DIY repairs.

He smiled and said, 'The best way to learn is by watching me Google it for the next three hours.'

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.

I once asked my dad for directions, and he told me, 'Just keep going straight until you know you're lost, then you're probably close.'

I used to think he just had a terrible sense of direction, but now I realize he was teaching me that even when I feel a little lost, he's always my true north.

I asked my dad what his favorite Father's Day memory was, and he thought for a moment before saying

it hasn't happened yet, because it's the one where his kids are old enough to pay for dinner
