Happy birthday, Dad. I mean this without a punchline: the repair you shrug off matters to me. I hope the year brings you a problem that is not yours to carry.
A sincere birthday note for your dad
If you can name the tool or the drop-off, you have the note. Leave the moral out. Write a plain sincere note to a dad that treats a repair or a curb hug as the love. Dad heartfelt stays concrete. It is not the grateful page, which inventories what he taught, and it is not the kids' voice. A short sentence is a feature, not a failure of feeling.
