14 Things You Never Thanked Your Dad For (But ABSOLUTELY Should)

Your father is the most important man in your life.

He's the first man you encounter, and your interactions with and feelings for him will impact every relationship you'll ever have with another human being.

It's pretty heavy stuff, but more often than not, it's also pretty awesome — especially when you have an amazing dad.
