Even though your dad can't get out very well, make the effort to do so on his special day: movies (but watch out for the sex and language), picnic lunch at a park (make sure there is shade for him), even the beach (with shade) for awhile(at least he will get some fresh air), local comedy or musical presentation, if you have a gambling casino nearby go for just an hour,anything doing at the Senior Center? You could even plan the "field trip" on a day when places are not so crowded. The zoo and a hotdog, baseball game, an auto-racing event - even if he can't manage to stay for the whole thing. The important thing is spending time with him and getting him some fresh air. My dad likes lottery and scratch off tickets. I'll buy him a bunch. He is 93 and for his birthday he received 93 scratch off tickets. If your dad , has a car how about a book of car washes and car detailing? All of these my not apply to your dad but maybe others can benefit from this info.
Happy Father's Day, dear old Dad! That's about all I've got. My dad, as wonderful as he is, will say "I've got everything I need" when I ask what he'd like. He's the type of guy who sleeps about 12 hours a day and watches TV the other 12 hours. He has no hobbies. He can't get out and do things very well. He isn't interested in much. He does, honestly, have everything he needs. But still...I want to show up on Father's Day with something, anything to let him know how much he's loved.
What are you getting your dad for Father's Day? And have you got any brilliant ideas for what I can get mine?
