We offered to take my dad out for a nice Father's Day dinner.

But he insisted on staying home, saying he had 'important business' to attend to in the garage... which turned out to be labeling his zip ties by length.

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'

I decided to go through some old family videos with my dad on Father's Day

and he cried during the part where I learned to ride a bike, but not because he was proud – he just remembered how much the bike cost

My dad's been working on his backyard patio for months, and I finally asked him when it would be finished.

He just smiled and said, 'When the patio is done, I'll be too old to use it.'
