Remember Dad
 Great Gift Ideas for Dad

If you're a father, you'll appreciate the joys of being both a son and a father. If you're a son, I'm sure you already know how special fathers are. When I think back to my childhood, I remember the special moments I spent with my father. We went hiking, bicycling, fishing, and skipped rocks on the water. My father showed me the loving image of what a dad should be.

A father is one of the two most important people in a child's life. He is looked up to and respected, but more often than not, fathers are forgotten or don't receive the recognition they deserve. This makes Father's Day the perfect opportunity to say thank you.

Gifts are a part of Father's Day. Sometimes it's difficult to find the perfect gift ideas that say, "I love you dad, and I appreciate all the sacrifices you've made for me." This year, forget about the tacky tie, and give your father a gift that he'll truly appreciate.

Finding a gift is quite simple; just think of all the activities your father enjoys, then surprise him by planning a full day together. The gift will show your appreciation, but it's the time spent together that will be the icing on the cake.

 Remembering Dad

What's your favorite memory of your dad?

Our winner has been chosen! Jenny Burkett has nominated her husband, Brian! Read her entry below:

"I'm nominating my husband for father of the year. My favorite memory of him as a father is the day we delivered our quadruplets in 2007. I have never seen him happier, more proud and more humbled all at once. He amazes me daily with his love for his children. He sacrifices SO much so i can stay home to take care of our 4 babies. He helps change diapers (about 35 a day), reads to the kids, feeds babies and works a full time job. He always gives me a break when I need it so now it's his turn! He deserves a break to go golfing with some new clubs, to unwind and take some time for himself. He gives everything he has to his family and his career, and rarely does anything for himself. I would love it if he was acknowledged for the amazing father he is. Please pick the Quad Father--Brian Burkett!"
