Questions To Ask Your Father Figure This Father’s Day

It's Father's Day, and what better way to show the old man some love than treating him to a special night out at your favorite restaurant?

In no time you will be reminiscing old memories, laughing, and having a newfound appreciation for your dad. McCray’s East Cobb Tavern offers the perfect setting for this bonding with your dad’s favorite beer and a game in the background— let's make this Father's Day one he won't soon forget!

Ask Him About The Father Figures in His Life

Go down the memory trail with your dad or your father figure and ask him about the father figures in his life when he was growing up. What kind of man was his dad (your granddad) like? Were there other influential father figures in his life? Neighbors or religious figures that left an impact? You might be surprised to find out how many people had a hand in shaping who your dad is today, just as the people in your life shaped you. 

If you are fortunate enough to spend Father’s Day 2023 with your grandpa, ask him too. With any luck, you will have a better understanding of your family tree. And what those that came before you were like. This is also a great chance to remember those who you’ve lost and celebrate the life that they lived. 

Ask About Your Dad’s Favorite Dad Memories

Being a father has all sorts of fun laughable moments that go right alongside the headaches and challenges of being a parent. Ask your dad about these moments. Was there a special moment when he was proud of you? Did your dad ever make an embarrassing mistake when you were younger that you can laugh about now? What moments does he remember? This is a great chance to laugh about the past while also seeing what matters to him. 

Tell Him Your Favorite Memories Of Him 

Now it’s your turn to tell your dad your favorite memories of him. The great thing about this is that your answers will likely be different from his. By exploring these moments, you can realize what memories and events stuck with you and why. If you both say the same memory, that only means that moment was truly special. This is also an opportunity to show appreciation for your dad and thank him for being in your life. 

Ask Him For Advice and Share Wisdom 

Fathers and father figures are always full of good advice. From grill master tips to learning how to buy a car, dads are full of good nuggets of wisdom. Ask your dad what wisdom he has for your this year. Maybe it will be specific to the present such as getting good grades, finding a good job, getting ready to have your own child, or maybe your dad will have great advice that you can apply to the rest of your life. Take the time today and find out what kind of wisdom your dad has for you. 

With great dads come great stories, lessons, and memories. Our shared memories, his advice, and guidance, his strength and support—these are the ties that bind us through life’s trials and tribulations. As we honor our fathers—biological, foster, paternal uncles, step-parents, and close friends—this Father’s Day weekend let us remember all that they give to us!
