I asked my dad to write a letter to his future self for Father's Day, and when I read it, I found out why he's always been so patient with me.

It said, 'Dear future self, by now you've figured out that all those times you thought you were teaching your kids something, they were actually teaching you patience, forgiveness, and what it means to love unconditionally. Happy Father's Day.'

My dad's garage is so organized,

he can find a screw from 1992, but still can't find his reading glasses that he left on the workbench 5 minutes ago.

My dad's friends think he's a master carpenter because of all the home improvement projects he starts

but really, he's just a master of finding creative ways to use duct tape and prayer to hold things together

I asked my dad how he wanted to spend Father's Day, and he just smiled and said 'just like any other day, with the people I love'
