I asked my dad what his ideal Father's Day relaxation involved.

He said, 'A few hours in the garage, finally organizing my screws by size and thread.'

I spent all day making my dad's favorite meal for Father's Day, but when I presented it to him, he just smiled and said he was full from all the memories we've shared over the years.

I asked my dad what he loved most about being a father on Father's Day, and he thought for a moment before saying

it wasn't the teaching, the guiding, or the providing – it was the fact that I still think he's cool, even when nobody else does.

My dad always said his greatest talent was being able to fix anything around the house.

And while he did master everything from leaky faucets to wobbly chairs, his real superpower was always knowing how to fix a bad day, usually with a groan-worthy dad joke and a hug that somehow glued everything back together.
