Dads, granddads and father figures help guide us through life and ask for so little in return. That’s why we dedicate a whole day to celebrating all they do for us, which falls the third Sunday each June in the U.S., this year on June 20. If you're looking for a way to properly recognize someone who offers paternal guidance in your life, check out our recommendations below!
