Your father is likely one of the most dominant forces in your life. That’s why on his birthday, it's important to let him know just how much you appreciate his enduring love, support and guidance. Sure, indulging him with countless slices of cake and unique gifts are nice, but there are few things that can touch the soul like heartfelt words. So, this year, celebrate him by writing a loving message in his card that will leave a lasting impression.
We’ve compiled some of the best birthday wishes for dads that will make him smile, laugh or maybe even cry (happy tears!). Whether he’s the family jokester or the sentimental father that sheds a tear at puppy commercials, messages from this list are sure to brighten his special day.
