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 to write a letter to me and my siblings for Father's Day, but with one condition: he had to write it as if it were his last piece of advice to us.

He wrote a single sentence: 'Don't forget to mow the lawn, it's supposed to rain next week.'

I asked my dad what he wanted for Father's Day this year.

He said, 'An afternoon alone with the lawnmower, and no one questioning my stripe patterns.'

I framed a picture of my dad's handyman to-do list for Father's Day

And he said it was the first time someone finally understood his life's work
