Dad. Pops. The Old Man. Whatever you call a father figure in your life, it’s safe to assume they are often an unsung hero. Sure, it’s usually mom who sorts out your Christmas presents, knows the name of your best friends and can keep track of all the spinning plates, but it’s dad who has those subtle seeds of wisdom that stick with us and help us grow. And, failing that, it’s dad who often has the best/worst jokes in times of need.
