36 Texts To Send Dad On Father's Day That'll Make Him Smile & Feel So Loved

Cue the happy tears, because there are so many things you should celebrate right now. There are the silly jokes, the life lessons, and the family vacations at the beach that wouldn't have been the same without your dad or the dad figure in your life. There are quality breakfast dates and movie theater nights, all of which can be wrapped up in some texts to send Dad on Father's Day that'll make him smile, laugh, and feel so loved.

Believe it or not, all of your memories can get squished into a few words that’ll remind your dad his advice and guidance is endlessly appreciated. When he reads the text you send him, he’ll likely instantly remember the time when you were searching for your first apartment, and he asked the questions like, "What amenities come with the place?" and, "Are there any utilities included?" That day, after signing your lease, he helped you move your belongings and unpack your boxes. He even taught you how to make his famous macaroni and cheese, so that you'd never go hungry or without a home-cooked meal.

Since then, he's come over to catch up or share a cup of coffee, and texts you on the reg. He sends you memes, relatable and funny tweets, and pictures from when you and your siblings were little. Occasionally, he'll send you a heartfelt message, too — a quick reminder that he loves you and is so proud of how far you've come. Those messages always make you smile and think, "Wow, I'm incredibly lucky." This Father's Day, return the love and send your dad a message that'll make him laugh or feel the same way.
