What should I get him for Father's Day?
My dad died when I was 12 and a few months ago my cousins husband saw that I was ipset and I explained to him about my dad and he said I could claim him as my dad and I have even been calling him daddy here lately .we have gotten extremely close this n past year and even when I make mistakes like havingsex outside of marriage nothing I do could make him mad enough to keep me from being his daughter even though its only by verbal adoption and not by blood he says I am the best daughter he could ever have asked for and Fathers day is coming up this June and I know he dosnt expect anything from me but I want to suprise him because he did something for me he didn't have to do letting me be his daughter. Any advice on what I can give him would be greatly appreciated. I know he likes Georgia bulldogs duck dynasty and tapout and likes to watch movies and likes to read please remember I am on a $40.00 a week budget but I want it to be something special .

Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
I would say you want to make it not so materialistic but something that he will cherish for the rest of his life. Maybe a poem? You want it to be very meaningful and from the heart. I write poems and short writings to my parents about how much they mean to me. and you could put it in a nice frame. or give him a picture of the two of you. No matter what he will love what you get him. And remember money and materialistic is just an object. It's the thought that matters:)

This question makes me happy. In addition to the previous advice, I would suggest giving him an experience rather than a material object. Sometimes the memories you create are worth more than say something you put on the shelf. You can take him out to dinner or take him out for a movie he's been wanting to see. Think about something he likes to do and go out and do it with him! I feel like that is better than a giftcard. An experience is so personal and it says that I care enough to share this with you.

Those special family connections are great when they happen. My 2nd husband has a college age lady who lives in another state now but she became like an adopted daughter though I've never met her but talk to her online. She calls him Dad too. Thats a special kind of love. So glad you have found it. If he is your 'Dad' by heart choice, then dont stop at Fathers day, remember him too for birthday and Holidays or any other event special to you that you'd like his presence for. Walmart has big bins of really inexpensive DVD's if you go that route. My sister found a dollar store that had a selection of books, really good ones. I still treasure the one she got me one Christmas. The book probably sold at the same time in bookstores for 15 16 bucks or more. It wasn't an outdated book, just over stock I guess. So starting looking around now. I have no idea what Tapout is other than a search online shows it to be a band? CDs arent that expensive either. Start setting aside a little money out of each weeks $40. until you have enough for a CD instead of spending the majority of your $40 in one shot one week leaving you short for other stuff. A gift is great but it's what you write in the card that will be the most meaningful. Write to him from the heart telling him how special he is, he knows but give examples like, Dad, I am so happy to you truly love me unconditionally, no matter what I do, right or wrong..you love me. You inspire me to be the same kind of person, to love others like that, etc.... I had daughters and whenever they took time to remind me in cards of silly little things I did that meant more to them than I thought they had, it melted my heart. Theres nothing more special than the words you can share from your heart.
