My dad isn't the type to give big speeches or shower you with compliments.

But this Father's Day, when he saw I was having a rough week, he just quietly made my favorite breakfast and then left a perfectly organized, handwritten list of all the chores he'd already done around my apartment. That's how I know I'm loved.

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 asked my dad what his superpower was on Father's Day

He said it was his ability to turn any conversation into a discussion about the perfect grill temperature

My dad's idea of retirement is

spending 40 hours a week in the garage, but now he's getting paid in satisfaction instead of a paycheck.
