Sometimes when life gets hard, all we really need is some fatherly advice. No matter how not helpful it may be. Thanks, Dad.

1. Thank you for keeping it real.

Okay, I admit it. Sometimes my "problems" aren't exactly problems to you, or anyone else for that matter. Thanks for giving me advice, even though it may be harsh.

2. Thank you for literally being the voice of my common sense.

Sometimes before I do something, I hear your voice asking me "is that really a good idea?"

3. Thank you for the road trips.

There isn't a thing in this world I love more than riding around in the Jeep with you and talking about life. And of course, the stupid stuff we have done.

4. Thank you for the mini cooking lessons.

Neither of us is great at cooking, but thanks for the taco prep lessons.

5. Thank you for having the same weird sense of humor.

We have endless inside jokes, usually from things that no one else would find funny. I l like corn.

6. Thank you for always fixing my car.

As a fairly new driver, mistakes are bound to happen. Thank goodness I have the best mechanic in the world!

7. Thank you for being the "cool" dad my friends wish they had.

I mean, I guess you are pretty cool.

8. Thank you for showing me how to work hard, and earn my way.

You taught me one of the most important lessons in life - how to work hard.

9. Thank you for being my dad.

I can't imagine having anyone else as great as you as my dad.

10. Thanks for being you, Dad. I love you!

You mean the world to me, and I appreciate you. Thanks for being my best friend, and my rock. Love you!
