I asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day, and he said something to warm my heart

So I turned up the thermostat, now he's ecstatic and our energy bill is through the roof

My dad said he didn't need anything for Father's Day this year.

But I know he'd be thrilled if someone just found that obscure Allen wrench he swore he lost 'right after he finished assembling that bookshelf in 2017.'

My dad’s favorite thing to say before launching into a life lesson is, "Let me tell you something…"

And while I used to playfully roll my eyes, I’ve realized his greatest gift wasn't just the lesson, but always having something wise to share, right when I needed it most.

We asked my dad what his ideal Father's Day activity would be, expecting something simple and relaxing.

He said, 'An opportunity to start a *new* home improvement project... one that definitely requires a trip to the hardware store.'
