My dad works harder than any person I know and rarely takes time for himself. I think it’s time he have a chance for some pampering!
My dad is my hero: After he married my mom when I was 7 and my sister was 5, she was diagnosed with cancer. They knew she wasn’t going to live, and he adopted both of us. My mom died before I was 10 and our dad went on to raise us as if we were his own. He will always be my hero

My father is my hero! He is a retired navy veteran and saved during vietnam. When he was 27 he had an accident that left him with brain damage and partially paralyzed. He has never once complained about anything to me or anybody else. He is the strongest man I have ever known! Even with these hardships he has managed to raise 2 boys and did everything with us that normal dads do for their sons. I learned how to play catch and ride a bike through this amazing man! My father is my hero and I love him more then he will ever know!
My dad deserves this because he has done so much for our family. With my mom having a serious disease and eventually a lung transplant and during that time he was laid off at work, he has still remained strong and been there for the family.
i’m nominating my hubby- my children’s dad….throughout this last year – with my father terminally ill and ultimately passing away – he was my rock – took on extra household duties with my work travel schedule so that time i wasn’t on the road I could be with my dad…..he has coached little league, taught boys to fish and camp, cook, ride a bike – the things that SHOULD be part of a childhood yet for so many kids – aren’t….he taught them to carve a pumpkin too…I had never done that until him!
I would like to nominate my dad because not only has he raised 8 children, but he worked very hard to support us…worked 3rd shift, was active in our education (came to visit the school just to check on us), worked to start and maintain his own real estate business (to help house and employ people who need) as well as managed to love and cherish his wife over the years. He is now a very active grandfather, who continues to be supportive of his children as well as our mates/spouses, teams up with us to be active in his grandchildren’s educational lives (helps them with homework, on call for assistance at the schools), and does all the spoiling that grandparents do for their grandchildren while teaching them morals and values he taught us, as well as continues to love and cherish his wife and provide housing and employment in the community.

I would like to nominate my dad. He’s a wonderful hard working and loving father, husband, uncle, friend and now grandfather. Always supportive of his girls. He has sacrificed for us. He not only care and support us but our friends as well. He’s been married and devoted to our mom his wife of 21yrs. He’s leads a very respectable life before us a true man of God. He deserves something special.
My Dad is really my step Dad. But that doesn’t mean he’s not the best man I know. He married my mom when I was 7 and as a single childless man he took on the responsibility of 4 kids that weren’t his. And he was only 27 at the time.
He spent 20 years in the army and retired a few years ago as a tank commander master gunner sgt. 1st class.
Not only did he go to Iraq and Kuwait along with many other places in the army, but now he does contract work and has gone to Iraq twice and Kuwait once since retiring from the army. They just cut the job he went to Kuwait for last month after waiting 5 months to find a job. So he is again looking for a job.
He is still attending college going for his masters. At 50 there’s so much hope in him to better himself and take care of his family.
Right now because contracts over seas keep getting pulled my dad, my mom, me and my 2.5 year old all live in a 2 bedroom apartment. And he actually even have me and my baby the larger room to share without batting an eyelash. My sister lives next door (they own a duplex) in the larger part of the house for next to nothing rent with her kids.
I have known him most of my life and when I get married he will be the one to walk me down the aisle.
When his latest job got cut off, he said the first thing he wants to do when he gets home is take his granddaughter for a wall around the block.
He’s really an amazing Dad and I am
Lucky to have him as mine.
My dad deserves this massage mostly because he is so hard working I wish I had more money I would buy him everything because he deserves the world for always taking such good care of my mother and I but unfortunately I am not able to get him everything. He has our love above all else but this would be a great bonus because he really does deserve it especially after dealing with the loss of his mother my grandmother recently, it was so hard on him. Thank you for the chance!
My daddy is the hardest working man I know- and i would love to give him a gift that he would love♥
My Dad needs a massage because he works so hard!
My father is my hero. I did not realise this when I was younger, but now that I am miles away from him, I do. He is hardworking and has always taken my side no matter what. He stood behind me always. I have not been able to meet him from the past 3 years, but he has always been my strength.
My dad is always putting everything and everyone in his life before himself. He is always making sure that my mom, siblings and I are taken care of before he thinks about himself. He works very hard to support our family and is always there for us to support us and help guide us down the right paths in life. He has a high level of stress due to working a lot and managing the house, bills, etc. He would never take time or spend the money to get a massage for himself, but I am hoping that if he wins this giftcard, that he will be able to take some much needed time and relaxation for himself! I love you dad! Thank you,
Hailey
My dad works hard, and sometimes suffers physically from it. A good massage would do him well!
My stepdad is my hero because he has raised me as his own child since I was 2. Here we are 21 years later, and he still cares for and loves me the same, if not more. He has always been there for me during my worst and best times and has always gone above and beyond to make me happy despite our lack of a biological bond. Any man that can take someone else’s child and raise it as their own is a strong man and deserves to be rewarded.
My father is a huge worrier and gets stressed out about everything. He could definitely use a massage to help alleviate some of his stress! Thank you for the opportunity to win this for him!
He is my best friend and the love of my life! He is a great father to his daughter, a positive example of a great man to my children and treats them like his own. He has been through so much this year dealing with the loss of his mother and still manages to stay strong and positive. He is active in the community and loves helping others. He views his trials to help others get through theirs and is a very loyal man who is very selfless.
Since my daughter is only 14, she wanted me to reply. Her father, my husband of almost 24 years, is certainly our hero. He not only works full time (40+ hours weekly), he is also a volunteer fire department chief for our local firehouse. Please let me explain, he has full training in the fire service and handles the administration part as well. He all eps at the station at least 2 times a week but the majority of the time more. He is the one they call if the other volunteers are unable to pull their scheduled duty. He does feel bad when he has to leave us to respond to that car accident, fire or medical emergency. We don’t mind sharing him with the people who truly need him. We are blessed to have him but more importantly, our neighbors are lucky as well. He works so hard for the county without a paycheck and loves every minute of it. Many times when he responds at 3.00 am, he may not be so happy to jump up and drive to the station and jump in the truck to respond…. but he does. We would love for him to relax and just take time for himself. Please consider him our hero, but he is the hero to many more who doesn’t know his name other than the firefighter. He is the hero that rarely gets the thank you after cutting someone out of an automobile or the man on the radio organizing the fire scene when their house is inflames. He is the guy who comes home and hugs his children and thanks God that it wasn’t his children that had to be rescued or carried to the emergency room. This is our hero, A. Lee Metz!
My dad deserves a massage because he puts up with all of us women in his life – and does so happily
He deserves a massage because he is a hardworker and he doesn’t want to rest when he should.
He is a man like no other … he is Honorable (he received a medal of honor for putting the life of another before his as a fireman), he is heroic (saves lives everyday), he is humble (he said “the only difference between a hero and an idiot is not being 6 ft underground”), he is the only dad in a group of woman on school field trips, he cooks and cleans, he smiles and laughs, the world is safer and happier because of him … he is our LIFE!!!
I don’t think my dad has ever had a massage but after all the stress I have put him through over the years, he could use one!
He’s my dad!!!!!
We lost my Mom to Pancreatic Cancer when she was just 51, my parents had been married over 30 years. Dont get me wrong, there have been some really rough patches, but my DAD has been so strong and hasn’t left my sisters or I side when we have needed him the most. He is not only my HERO, he is someone I’m proud to call the best Dad/ Father ever!! If someone deserves a massage, it’s my DAD!! I ♥ you Dad.
My dad is my hero beacuse: We lost my Mom to Pancreatic Cancer when she was just 51, my parents had been married over 30 years. Dont get me wrong, there have been some really rough patches, but my DAD has been so strong and hasn’t left my sisters or I side when we have needed him the most. He is not only my HERO, he is someone I’m proud to call the best Dad/ Father ever!! If someone deserves a massage, it’s my DAD!! I ♥ you Dad.
My dad is a hero because he has struggled throughout his life with a smile on his face. He lost his father at an early age and since he was the eldest gave up being a child and took care of his siblings. He gave his 5 children good education and made sure we didn’t go in the wrong path. Salute you Dad.:-)
My dad is a Hero:-) Love you Dad. May you always be so strong and caring.
There are so many reasons why he deserves this.
First of all, and foremost he raised me and was an active part of my life. He was always there for me when I needed him. He cared me when I didn’t care about anything. He respected me when I didn’t show the same respect in return. He loved me when I didn’t love myself. These were all traits that he wasn’t shown in his childhood. He became a man without a father or positive male rolemodel around. The only men in his life was abusers, and criminals.
He’s raised both my brother and I into loving, successful, caring, compassionate, responsible human beings. He believed and expressed to me that anything I set my mind to, I could accomplish. Not only did he tell me that, he led by example. He’s let me know that I should never settle for anything less then what I deserve.
He’s shown me what I should expect in a mate. He and my mother have been married for 34 years.
I ♥ you, Daddy!
My father is my hero because he works harder than anybody I have ever met. He hasn’t taken a day off in the last 6 years and works all night long and for most of the day as well and he still finds time to spend with me and our family. He runs his own business and does a better job than anybody could imagine. He has been there to watch me grow up and has taught me many things that have helped me with life, school, and work. He has protected me, helped me, cared for me, loved me, and taught me many things that most father’s don’t have time to do. He has always gone out of his way for our family and still will to this day. I love my father because he has never pushed me to do what he or anybody else wants. He has let me choose what I want to do with my life and he is proud of that. And I’m proud of him for sticking to what he does best, being a father. Even when things have gotten beyond tough and everybody else around him felt like giving up, he never has and never will. There are many more reasons why my father deserves this, but the main reason is because I love him and he works more than 100+ hours a week and I couldn’t be more proud of him.
I love you Dad!
My dad owns his own business and works 7 days a week. He really could use a massage to get away and relax, if only for a little while.
I hope I win because my Dad is the greatest of all. After fighting Cancer and Won, I have come closer than ever to him. I Love You Dad and Happy Fathers Day.
This isnt for my dad because he passed away when I was five. This is for my husband, my children’s dad. He had a rough childhood, his mom did drugs and never really wanted him, was abused my his father and stepfather. But my husband decided to go on a different path for his life. He got right with God, works when he can at the hospital, even overtime when they let him just to provide for his family, he has even went to work when our kids were in the hospital so we wouldnt miss a paycheck, and he has let me go back to school even though he has put his school on hold. I love him everyday of every week and month and years. He is amazing. Happy Father’s Day Chris
I really would love for my husband to win he has so much stress from driving a truck all day and needs to be able to destress.
My husband lost his jobs a few months back,and although its been tough he has taken over as Mr.Mom for sure.He has taken over kitchen duty and has been making the best tasting dinners ever!Better than me!Putting out applications and resumes daily,and trying to find odd jobs just so we can keep up.Its been stressful and hard and even though he hasn’t said it i know its taking its toll.I would love for him to just take a day and forget about all the stresses the past few months and just relax for a little bit.
