Whether a father that has passed or a father that is still living, here are five great ideas on how to remember your dad on Father's Day. From photos, photo albums, music, poetry, a roast to a dinner in his honor, you will find another way to remember dad on Father's Day.

Photos - - The power of a photograph is priceless. Photos, whether past photos or recent photos, is a great way to remember your father for Father's Day. An empty frame can only collect dust, but place a photo of dad and you as a special moment to share with others, including yourself, for years to come. A beautiful moment to be preserved.

Photo Albums - - Pull out a photo album with photos of dad in his funky seventies pants or riding his banana seat bicycle. A photo album is a great way to remember anyone, including father.

An added plus to the photo idea is to use a digital photo frame. Even though it's popular belief, Americans will not have to change over to digital (frames). Purchase a digital frame, they are actually very useful and holds many photos within one frame.

Music - - Dad's favorite songs, what a way to spend time remembering father. Bring a box of tissues because it only takes up to one song to begin shedding tears, and if your father is alive, it will not take long before you pick up that phone should he be elsewhere.

My father's music which consists of My Blue Heaven, Sleep Walk, anything from Frankie Valley, anything from Frank Sinatra, anything from Julio and other greats. He always had good taste. Listening to your father's favorite tunes can bring back fond memories along with creating new ones.

Poetry - - Sometimes writing helps get the words out. Write a poem in your father's honor surrounding the many ways you remember him by. Not only will this make you feel good, if your father still is alive, he will appreciate reading it or having you read it to him.
