"My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it." - Clarence Budington Kelland
Fathers can be so many things--protectors, teachers, confidantes, disciplinarians. I've been blessed with a father who has made sacrifices for me that I will never begin to be able to thank him for. A man who was strict, but never mean; who was my friend, but always my father first. I'm sure many of you have similarly wonderful men in your lives, so here are some gift ideas for the great dads out there (whether it be your own father or the father of your children) to remind them how much they're appreciated.
