That's where I originally posted it but thought you all might like reading it here to. I came up with this list and I've done all 20 over the years. It works.
1. Make sure to shower your dad with hugs on Father's day. Show him that you care. A human touch is always important. Tell him that you love him and that you appreciate all that he's done.
2. Spend some time with him and share some good memories together. Get a glass of tea, or water and just talk. Laugh. If you don't have any special memories research some jokes online. Print out funny pictures that might make him laugh. Create special memories on Father's day.
3. If you know his favorite song sing it to him even if you have a horrible voice. Trust me he will laugh and might even dance.
4. Cook his favorite meal. If you're not good at cooking order some pizza, or see if a neighbor can help with cooking. Sometimes having even toast together is good. The point is that you're spending time with him.
5. Play a game with him. If you don't have a game there make one up. You say a sentence, and he says a sentence. Write the sentences down and watch it become a story. Laugh.
6. Play some old games he did when he was a child like "I spy". Almost everyone knows the game "I spy." If he's a grandfather and the kids are around this is a good way to get everyone involved.
7. Paint a picture with him. Even if you're 40 plus. Get some crayons or fancy pencils. Have a coloring contest and see who can finish first.
8. Read the newspaper together. Comment on the most recent funnies. Avoid stories that might make him depressed or angry.
9. Dress in something funny. Step outside of what you normally wear. Come in and wear one red sock, one green sock. Put on a funny hat. Wear his clothes.
10. Put something in his wallet that will make him laugh. Put in a fake 100 dollar bill but make it so he knows it's fake.
11. Put down on a sheet of paper three things you'll do for him the next couple of weeks. It can be more or less then three things. How many you do is up to you but make sure to complete them.
12. This might sound goofy but play ball with him. Most men love sports. See if he'd like to toss the ball,football, or basketball with you. Even if you're terrible at it he won't care.
13. Watch something with him on TV. See if there's a movie you can rent on TV or pull out one of his favorite tapes and pop it in. Make sure he can hear it good.
14. Ask him if he needs for you to do anything for him that day. Go out of your way and meet all of his needs.
15. Give him a good backrub, and foot massage. Soak his feet in some nice warm water.
16. Write a poem,song,or story for him.
17. Put on a sock show. Get two socks put them on your hands get behind the couch and get goofy. Make up things and he will laugh.
18. If your dad has been going through depression lately see if you can get him out of the house and take him for a walk. Going on walks and talking might help him. Talk about the things around you. Laugh at the birds. Take bread and feed them to the birds. Make sure to take some water with you because it is hot in a lot of places now.
19. Turn your cell phone off when you're spending time with him. Let him see you're really paying attention to what he's saying. Don't let anyone take away your minutes with him.
20. Before you leave give him another hug. Tell him you enjoyed spending time with him and thank him for spending time with you. Show you care and smile and wave when you leave.
