What Does Your Dad Mean to You?

Father's Day is right around the corner, and there's sale signs everywhere pitching gizmos and gadgets for dad. Do you think he really needs another tie?

This year, Patch invites you to gift your father, stepfather, uncle, grandfather or any other man that has been influential in your life with a unique tribute: Share his story on Patch.

What are some of your fondest memories with Dad? What advice has he offered you that has helped you the most over the course of your life?  

Why is he so special to you? Why does he deserve recognition?  (You can also take the opportunity to brag about your husband and what makes him an amazing father.)

Tell us about the special Dad in your life and share photos through our free Local Voices blogging section. Then, surprise him by sending him the link!

Happy Father's Day!
