My dad said all he wanted for Father's Day was peace and quiet.

So I just let him mow the lawn in silence, because apparently, that's his version of a meditation retreat.

I decided to take my dad on a road trip for Father's Day to all the places that held special memories for him, from his childhood home to where he first met my mom.

As we drove, he turned to me and said, 'You know, I've been to all these places before, but this is the first time I've seen them through the eyes of someone who loves me as much as I love them.'

For Father's Day, I got my dad a brand new smart thermostat.

He thanked me, then spent the rest of the day setting it to the exact same temperature it was before, just with more authority.

I tried to surprise my dad with a heartfelt message for Father's Day, starting with, "Dad, I'm feeling so grateful...".

Before I could finish, he smiled and said, "Hi Grateful, I'm Dad!"
