Thanks Dad - Honoring Dad This Father's Day
By Lilia Fallgatter

With Father's Day just a short time away, you may be wondering what you can do to truly honor Dad on this special day. It may seem obvious, but have you thought of just simply saying "Thanks Dad. Thanks for all you have done for me and all you have been to me."

Father's Day is a perfect opportunity to express your feelings and appreciation to Dad for always being there for you; and for being a father who cared enough to provide for you, to care for you and to sacrifice so much for his family.

Although it may feel awkward and a bit uncomfortable, letting Dad know what he means to you will be a relief to you. In years to come you will be glad that you did not hold your feelings back. It will also be a gift to Dad with a value far greater than you can imagine.

You can take this good deed even further, by putting your feelings on paper in a handwritten letter. Writing a letter will not just allow you to express your appreciation in a tangible way, but it can help you avoid the discomfort and awkwardness you may feel in saying these things aloud. Beyond that, your letter may become a treasured keepsake for Dad that he can re-read in the years ahead.

Once your letter is finished, add old photos to make it that much more special. Your letter can be given alone or can be added to other meaningful gifts.
