Superheroes are awesome!

Whether it’s the x-ray vision, the ability to move at the
speed of lightning, or the power to smash things with enormous green hands,
super-human powers are amazing.  

And, the film industry continues to awe us with the plethora
of super-humans they proffer—heroes we can admire for their varied
abilities.  

But, as children, our dad really was our superheroes—for
some, he still is.  As young children, we
saw our fathers embodying and even exceeding the superheroes’ most
extraordinary powers. Marvel’s characters wouldn’t stand a chance coming
against him.

Well, let’s continue to make him feel like a superhero. And,
with Father’s Day fast approaching, we’re presented with the perfect
opportunity.    

Let’s put an end to absentminded well-wishes, last-minute
sprints to the store, or calls at 11:59. It’s your dad, your champion. This
year give him a Father’s Day he’ll never forget. How? Start planning early. Early
preparations will afford you more time to gift your dad something meaningful. (https://gunnewsdaily.com/)    

We’ll get you started. Here are some tips on how to blow
your dad’s mind this Father’s Day.

Discover What He
Likes

Does your dad like receiving gifts? Maybe he’d prefer you to help him out in the yard.  Before you buy the cologne, we suggest you do a Google search for Gary Chapman. Why? It’s simple; the American author has been revolutionising relationships with his book and online services, The 5 Love Languages®.

According to Chapman, people connect with others in five
different ways: quality time, acts of service, words of affirmation, receiving
gifts, and physical affection.  Being
able to identify how our loved ones feel cared for, he believes, will help
relationships. 

So either get the book or check online and have dad do the
test. Then use it as a guide in your Father’s Day planning. It may surprise you
to learn that an hour watching a cricket match with dad makes him feel more
loved than buying him a shave set.

Say: “I’ve Got
You, Dad” with Action

Do you have chores you loathe to do? Ask your dad, and he’ll
probably list a few.  No, do ask him.
Nothing will say: “I’ve got you, Dad”, like rolling up your sleeves
and jumping in to tackle those pesky tasks for him. 

To make it even more special, spend some time with him taking note of his to-do list. You can surprise him by moving through the items on the list over a few weeks. Another option is to select the task you’ve noticed he’s been delaying. If you’re capable, you can do it yourself or hire a professional.

Whichever you decide, the idea is to show your dad he can rely
on you—you’ve got his back. 

Host a Boisterous
Game Night

This suggestion is for the sports aficionado father.  If your dad is a sports lover, then it’s
likely that based on his sport of choice, he has a match he considers an
‘all-time favourite.’ A game he never tires of watching or rehashing.

Now this will involve some research. Scour the internet for a video recording of the game.  Depending on how long ago it was, you may have some difficulty. If you’re unable to find the one in question, don’t be discouraged.  You can log on to Rush TV and review the Premier League schedule of matches.  There’s guaranteed to be a game he’ll enjoy viewing.  We imagine it will be the creation of a wonderful, memory with your dad.

A word of caution, this activity may result in some
boisterousness. You may need to alert other household members in advance. 

Plan a Lazy Sunday
Road Trip

Here’s an exercise that is simple but meaningful. Life gets
busy, and as it does, it’s easy for us to neglect to spend quality time with
our loved ones.  

A Sunday afternoon road trip takes you away from your daily
routine and gives you a chance to unwind and catch up with your dad. The great
thing about the trip is you can plan with an activity in mind.  A picnic, hike or a bout of fishing; any are
excellent options to incorporate into the trip.  

Whatever you choose to do, a road trip is a great way to
bond with your hero.

You’ve got the time. This year do Father’s Day
differently.  

Plan and give your dad an extraordinary time while making
beautiful memories.  

From us to your dad: “Happy Father’s Day.”
