HOW TO WRITE A FATHER’S DAY MESSAGE: THE BASICS
Sometimes the simplest messages are the best. Start by thanking your dad for everything he’s done for you and mention the important contributions he’s made in your life. Compliment his good qualities and tell him what you admire about him, or talk about your favourite memories from your time together.
You don’t have to be too sentimental if that’s not your style – go with something that’s true to you. And even if your relationship with your father has been complicated at times, you can still focus on the positive points without any need to go over the top.
