A Special Father's Day Project

Corporate America and the American Spirit have commercialized Father's Day and most other holidays meant to be special times to honor loved ones. No matter whether it's Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, Valentines Day, or Grandparents Day etc., there are always special things you can buy to show your loved one how much they mean to you. This is not bad but only thinking that buying something is the way to honor, overlooks a very important aspect of honoring - doing something yourself.

What if you actually took some time to think about making your own special present to honor your father on Father's Day? The value you and your dad can get from your effort would be invaluable. Showing you care enough to not only spend money, but to spend time doing something special could be worth more than money could ever buy.

The idea of the A walk Down Memory Lane project is to provide you with a simple way you can show your dad just how important many moments with him have been to you. The final product could even become a family heirloom to be shared with grandchildren for generations to come. What a wonderful gift to give to not only your dad but to you and his progeny into perpetuity!

The instructions outlined below for making the A Walk Down Memory Lane project are just a start. You can surely take these steps and personalize them to you and your family's traditions. Be creative!

A Walk Down Memory Lane Project Overview

This project is meant to be a chronicle of sorts of the memories you have of your father that bring smiles and tears to your heart. It can be a personal remembering or you can bring in other siblings and create a collection of memories from a siblings view. Another way to think about this is to collect memories from all important members of the family such as: grandparents, aunts, and uncles, etc. to pull together a multitude of diverse memories about your father. There isn't a right or wrong way to do this. There is just your way and what feels right for you.

Instructions

• Decide if the project is going to be from you alone, from all siblings, or from all family members.
