On Father's Day, I decided to give my dad the gift of a personalized photo album filled with pictures of his grandkids.

As he flipped through the pages, he got teary-eyed and said, 'This is the best gift I've ever received – mainly because it's the only thing they've ever made that doesn't have glue on it.'

I asked my dad to teach me how to fix a broken appliance for Father's Day, so I could finally learn from the master of DIY repairs

He smiled and said, 'The only thing I'm going to fix is the fact that you still call me for help, by teaching you how to do it yourself, just like I did with your grandfather, and his father before him.'

I was going through some old family photos with my dad on Father's Day

and he pointed to a picture of me as a kid and said, 'You know, this is my favorite photo of you – it's the only one where you're not asking me for money.'

Dad's been working on his latest home improvement project for weeks

I'm starting to think his 'honey-do' list is actually a 'never-done' list
