Father’s Day is almost here.
The holiday, observed the third Sunday in June each year, provides a day for families to express their appreciation for the sacrifices, hard work and unconditional love fathers provide. Whether you’re celebrating a biological father, stepfather, grandfather or a father figure, here are some meaningful ways to make this day memorable:
*Plan a personalized adventure: A personalized adventure that centers around your father’s favorite activities offers an opportunity to show your appreciation and to spend quality time together. And if your budget allows…
*Organize a short getaway: Go to a place you’ve always wanted to visit, like a national park or a museum.
*Plan a virtual reunion: This can be particularly meaningful if you have family members who live far apart. Set up a video call with relatives and friends who can’t be there in person. Share stories, play games and catch up. Make the virtual gathering more fun by having a theme, such as a trivia night, a costume party or a talent show.
*Make a documentary about your father’s life: Interview family members and other people your father knows. Put their recollections, photos and videos into a tribute video. Host a special screening on Father’s Day, complete with popcorn, comfortable seating and a big screen. On a related note…
*Do a legacy project: Research your family tree with your father to uncover stories and connections from the past. Put together items such as letters, photos and small mementos that represent your family’s life, with a focus on your father.
