It's Father's Day, share a memory or just tell why you appreciate your father!

Also, what are qualities you think a good father should have? Is there such thing as "the perfect father"? (If you end up writing something good in response to this, write a letter to your dad, you don't have to send it, just write, it'll help you find yourself, after all our dad's have had a great influence on who we are today, whether that is in a good or bad way.)

If there is one thing my father taught me it was this. "Treat every woman you meet like she's your future wife...because you never know."

My Dad taught me how to think. He would take as much time and energy as it required to not only teach me something, but to be sure that the message was recieved and understood. A good example is when he was teaching me about how floppy disks worked. He tied a rope to a tree and the other end to me, and gave me some pebbles, and had me walk around the tree in a circle, dropping rocks every so often to indicate 1s. I was a living floppy disk head. He just always had things to teach and he wasn't satisfied until I understood it conceptually so that it would stick. I respect the hell out of that.

he means well. he is good at heart and means well. he's smart. he taught me to play chess and to be a thinker. he has unparalleled integrity. he has given me some extraordinary compliments over the past few years. he goes out of his way to visit. i can see his love for my daughter just by looking at his face. it is torture to spend the day with him, but he means well.

He would always come to my plays. Even if he was busy, he made time to come see me. Even now that i'm in college, he'll still come see a play if i'm involved in it even though it's 5 hours away from my house.

He contributed half of my DNA... can't think of anything else.

When I was about 13 or 14, my dad told me "about 75% of people in life go to jobs every day which they hate with a passion, including myself. Don't be part of that percentage". I'm only 20, but I know a lot of folk my age that don't even think they'll ever be in that 25%, and right now I feel as though I have a good chance of being there. In fact, I am there right now, but you don't know what the future holds i guess. That was something that always stuck with me though, to have a dream, so cheers for that dad.

my father never let me win. and in this way, taught me to be a winner. much respect and love.

I'm sorry. I have no happy father's day stories to tell. My father gave me one good piece of advice. One common mistake drivers make is speeding after they're left the interstate. If there is anything I learned from my father is that unwanted, damaged children should not have children of their own when they grow up.

My father bought me a pillbury bakers oven when I was a little girl. Everyday when he would come home from work I had a half done chocolate cake waiting for him....and he would eat it. He would eat the entire cake, which was the size of a cup cake. I called him today and told him I made him a cake. He said, "tell me it isn't chocolate?" LOL nope dad, it's red velvet.
