I asked my dad if the burgers were ready on Father's Day.

He just flipped one with his tongs and said, 'Not yet! They're still trying to *meat* my expectations!'

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

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 for one piece of life advice he'd learned over the years, as a Father's Day gift.

He paused, thought for a long moment, and then said, 'Always make sure your phone is charged before you leave the house. Because that way, you can always call home.' My heart melted a little.
