My dad and I

5/17 Edited to

... Read moreSpending quality time with your dad can create memories that last a lifetime. Whether it’s a simple walk, a shared hobby, or a deep conversation, these small moments often strengthen bonds more than grand gestures. From my own experience, I’ve found that truly listening and engaging in activities that both enjoy fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation. For example, many fathers and children find common ground through sports, cooking, or even fixing things around the house together. These activities create opportunities to communicate openly and show support beyond words. It’s also important to remember that every relationship is unique; some dads may express love through advice or practical help, while others may prefer emotional connection or humor. Reflecting on these differences and embracing your own special moments can improve the relationship and offer comfort and guidance throughout life. Making time for your dad, showing gratitude, and recalling shared experiences are simple ways to nurture this bond every day.

A screenshot of a text message conversation on a dark background. A message bubble reads, 'Dad said to stop on the way back and grab some jitters for us lol please,' referring to energy drinks. A menu overlay with options like 'Reply' and 'Translate' is visible below the message.
Things my dad says VS what he actually means
So my dad’s first language is Spanish. Even though he knows English very well he will forget how to say things in English. One day my dad wanted an energy drink but he couldn’t remember how to say it. So he said “get me the thing that makes you jittery”. And hence the word jitter became our word
