Happy Father’s Day messages for your cards
‘Becoming a dad is one thing—being a dad is many things. Thank you for all you do.’
‘Dad, you’re still the one I think of first when I have a question about something or when I just need some support and good advice. Thank you for always being there for me.’
‘You taught me so many of the important things I know—including a few choice words for certain situations!’
‘Thank you for being an amazing role model and giving me someone awesome to look up to my whole life. I love you.’
If you don’t have a particularly close relationship, don’t feel like you must go overboard. Keep it sincere – thank him and acknowledge if he has given you some life lessons or made some sacrifices for you and your siblings.
