I wish I could show you what I got for my dad but that would totally kill the surprise as he is pretty much the #1 subscriber to my blog posts 

*happy tears*

He has literally responded via email to every post I have ever written. 

The only person to do so. 

Sometimes it's short and sweet - maybe only a word or two - but still, he never misses one.  

Best. Dad. Ever.
