What is the nicest thing your dad has ever done for you?

my dad has always been with me during my graduation rites. gradeschool, high school, college and when i finished my masters...

I can't think of only 1 nice thing my dad has done for me. I can remember passing the football, driving me back and forth for everything at school, buying me a horse (we lived on a farm), helping me take care of my vehicles, I think the list is endless. Now that he is retired, he even watches the kids for me a couple days of the week while me and my hubby are working. He deserves a medal for that one!

My dad has done great things for me. A couple things, big and little stand out to me, but I'll just mention the little thing. We were at my grandparents, which is a 3 hour drive from our house. I got a migraine around 10pm and it wouldn't go away. I hadn't counted on getting one (I was young enough to think leaving the meds behind was OK) and Excedrin of course didn't work. I laid in bed for hours, in agony, until around 6am, my dad came in weary and tired. He made the six hour round trip car ride just to get my migraine medicine. My mom said he told her he just couldn't stand to see me in pain. My dad is not demonstrative, but things like that prove to me I more than matter - I am loved.

My dad has done so many wonderful things for me that it would be impossible to pick just one. I guess I will just say that my dad has always been there for me any time I have needed him. Any time I have asked for his help, he has always come to help me, and often I didn't even need to ask, he just knew that I needed his help and came to lend a hand.

Oh, gosh, Ryan, how can I list 30 years of wonderful stuff my dad did? But to let you know that he was ever thinking of me, he twice found books of special interested to his weirdo daughter on trips & brought them home. Once was Ellery Queens' Sherlock Holmes story about Jack the Ripper, the other was The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. #3 that I don't think hardly anyone else ever had (think it was only printed in England.)

Hi ryanphil01, I can still remember when my late father brought to my first dentist appointment. I was scared. When my late father realised how scared I was, he accompanied me and held my hand until we finished. It made me feel secure and safe. That was one of the nicest thing my late father has done to me.

This is always a question that I sure wish I could answer - but don't have an answer as I lost my father when I was a young child and my mother never remarried so I don't even know what it's like to have a father!!! God bless those that do - I often wonder what it would have been like to have a father growing up as the only girl in my family!!!

Dad went with us school kids on a feild trip to a copper mine that he had worked in when he was 14 I think that was great for he wasnt all that happy to be around a bunch of kuds that always made him uncomfortable

the nicest thing my father has given me, not only me but also my brothers and sister.. he has given us his uncondiotional love, his care and affection.. he taught us how to love other people, how respect others.. he taught us the value of life.. that's why i love him so much.. and i will do anything just to show him how much i care and love him... how much i appreciate all the things he has one for us...

He bought me a lobo scooter.

There is something magical about my father that I still can't figure out.

That phrase is very touching. Here in Australia we dont have fathers day till september. My father has shown and given me so much. He is a wonderful man, and thats what i love about him. He always worked hard to provide for the family, even though he is disabled. He has never let this stop him. He had polio as a young child and has a very bad leg. It is just like a stick. He was the first disabled person to get the bronze medalion in life saving. He has achieved so much in his life, and i am very proud of him. He is 77 now, and until a few months ago still competed in swimming competitions. The only thing stopping him at the moment is a fracture in his bad leg. Hopefully he will get back to it again. Best wishes to you, ryan

The ever nicest thing my dad showed me is how to value love itself to other people, specially when it comes to small children. Sometimes I just get easily irritated to small children specially when they mess up things inside your house or just playing around so much. But it proved me wrong about my feelings towards the small children when I see it with my own eyes and witness the kind of heart that my dad spared to little children and the love he showed to them...from that moment, I feel guilty within myself and realized things there and then that loving children is the very most precious thing a person can do, just like what my dad has done and I am very blessed to have such a loving dad towards the small children.

My father and I are not that close. He is always busy with his work and we argue a lot. But he always supports me financially but I don't think it's enough. Even though we always argue, my father always gives what I want. He is always patient with me.

My dad used to go to horse shows with me when I was a kid and he didn't even really like horses! He even learned how to saddle and bridle my horse and make sure he was all shiny and ready to go in the ring(but he did draw the line on learning how to braid a mane lol!). My dad would carry buckets of water, nets of hay and saddle all day long without complaint. He was kind of a rarity, most other kids had their moms with them at shows, but not me(at least most of the time, mom came once in a great while) My dad has done countless things for me over the years but being my "horse show dad" was my favorite.

My dad and I were never very close but on the day that I got married he couldn't have been any better then he was . He was perfect , he was there for me and he took the time to make sure I was happy even though I know it was hard for him because him and my mom were no longer together and there was a lot of her family there . I was never so happy and proud of my dad that day . You can see the biggest smile on his face as he walks me down the aisle and I never felt closer to my dad then I did on that day . It was the one day of my life that I felt my dad truely cared about me as a person and wanted to see me happy and he did everything he could to try and ensure that it was a happy day for me , even though everything didn't go as planned .

i can still remember that our father used to cook for us, too. when i was not yet attending school, we had a simple and happy life at the farm. when it is not my mother who is busy at the kitchen, i see my father doing the work. there were no quarrels then. but i can recall how strict and straight forward my father had always been. he was consistent with his ways of disciplining the kids. this is where is believe my father did best, disciplining the children of the household.

My Dad cryed at my wedding. I know lots of Dads cry at their daughters weddings but my Dad does not cry. He grew up taking care of himseld a good deal so he has a tough exterior. I kept it all together until I saw him then I lost it. He will never admit it though.

My dad told me: "My child, Money is nothing! knowledge is the only treasure I can give you. But it will be your wealth forever... He said this, when I was asking for money to buy for a new dress. Before he handed to me the money, he uttered those words softly. And from then on, it stucked to my mind. And I thank him for telling me so.....

My Daddy passed away January 13, 2006 and his passing is still very fresh in my life. I miss him soooo much! In response to this question, I have to say the nicest thing my Dad ever did for me was this: in 2005 Daddy was diagnoised with cancer in his kidneys and it was so far gone that surgery was the only solution at that point. My husband is in the military and was deployed to Kuwait during Daddy's recovering stage. Daddy did not like the fact that me and the kids were living in Augusta GA by ourselves. After a week of convention at our church in Columbia SC, Daddy decided to ride back with us and stay with us for a week. I was so glad that he wanted to come stay with us! Because we were in Columbia for a week, I had not gone grocery shopping so that was one thing I needed to do once we got home. I got up the next day and got the kids dressed to go; hoping to provide Daddy some time to rest. Before I knew it, he was dressed and ready to go with us. SURPRISE!! After going grocery shopping and coming back home, Daddy was extremely tired because he put all the groceries in the truck by himself. When we came home, Daddy looked at me and said, Tasha, you get a few of the packages out first, I need to rest. Well, I got ALL the packages out and brought them in the house. When he realized that's what I did, he began to cry. I said, Daddy what's wrong? He said, Oh nothing, the medicine I have to take makes me this do this (cry) sometimes. It was then I knew that Daddy came to be a help to me; even in all the pain he was in; while I thought I was going to help him get rest! I love you and miss you dearly, DADDY!
