Happy Father’s Day, pandas! To all the dads out there, we hope you’re relaxing and having some well-deserved fun today.
This holiday is our chance to appreciate the father figures in our lives, but truthfully, their dedication deserves recognition all year round. Think about the countless times they’ve patiently helped with your homework or been your go-to for sound advice. So, show them love whenever you can.
To celebrate on our part, we’ve collected some of the most wholesome dad moments we’ve found on the internet that are funny, touching, and everything in between. Plus, don’t miss our chat with dad coach Ian Dinwiddy, who shares his valuable tips.

#29 My Dad Passed Away Two Weeks Ago. I Found A Letter That He Wrote To Me
“You are more precious than diamonds, more pure than gold. I love you and am so proud that you are my daughter.
I love you.
P.S. It’s all I had.”
He used to leave me cash when I was younger (I’m 23 now), so “It’s all I had” refers to the money he left me with the note.
I had a baby 4 months ago and had my baby shower last October. He was extremely broke and couldn’t get me anything. All I wanted was a handwritten letter from him, one written to me and one written to my baby. I felt I was in a place a couple of nights ago to be able to read it, and it was the hardest thing ever. These are the things I’ll carry with me forever.

#40 I Don’t Buy A Playhouse. Just Cut Windows And A Door In A Large Potato Bin From Costco
Thick, triple-corrugated cardboard might as well be plywood, given how strong it is. I installed one of those battery-operated PIR motion-activated lights inside, so she has interior lighting when she crawls inside. It’s her favorite place to hang out, and it costs a whopping $0. Bonus: It’s white and colorable for her own decorative flair.
