FATHER’S DAY • June 19, 2016
Gifts just for him The love we feel for a father is unique, regardless of our age. How can we show that love in way more significant than with another silk tie? It is often with a gift that costs nothing, a little trifle that says everything, that we offer our dad something to remember all his life. For children and adults alike, a homemade booklet of coupons for treats and special care is sure to be a hit. Coupons might include an offer of breakfast in bed, taking out the garbage, or promis-
ing to help Dad weed the vegetable garden. Teenagers can surprise everyone by getting up a bit earlier on Father’s Day to mow the lawn. This will let Dad relax and read the newspaper at breakfast while he enjoys a clean-cut yard. Teens might also wash the car or promise to replace Dad in the kitchen when it’s his turn to make supper. All are gestures full of meaning at a time of life when communication can sometimes be difficult.
Adults can opt to take their fathers on a memorable outing centred on an activity they love: golf, fishing, cycling or to a restaurant or museum. If your father is advancing in years, you might simply lend an ear to his needs as he likely did for you all his life. Offer to prepare some of his favourite dishes, do a few domestic chores that have become too difficult for him, or promise to go to his next doctor’s appointment with him.
No matter your gift or inspiration, accompany it with a handwritten letter expressing your love and your gratitude — it will go straight to his heart!
