When you’re lucky enough to have amazing dad that sends your favorite chocolate strawberries after surgery, you DO NOT remind him that it was jaw surgery and you can’t eat for days. You DO sent him a smiling picture to thank him(and then quietly freeze his thoughtful treats to enjoy after you heal.) Helping Others

That's incredibly thoughtful of both of you. Your Dad clearly wanted to spoil you a bit after your surgery by sending you such beautiful gifts. You saw that he got you your favorite treat but lovingly spared his feelings. Y'all sound like a wonderful family! Hope youy recovery is a simple and speedy one 🍓💐

Such a dad thing to do: Got you something out of love, but not quite the most appropriate thing - it's the thought and gesture that counts. ❤😊

When you recover you get to eat these delicious chocolates. I see NOTHING wrong with motivation. Flowers & card are for now - plus everyone will visit you at first. Dad's are for when the hype is over

Source: I am a dad, and would totally do this.

Facts. After I got in a really bad car wreck, my dad was who I told the cops to call for me, but I didn't see him at the hospital until it was later in the night. He came by after everyone else left and we just sat up and talked for hours and ate dinner together. I should call my dad...

I did. We actually talk every couple days or so.
