Father’s day gifts every woman can afford to give

Ladies usually have a hard time choosing Father’s Day gifts for their better halves. In many cases, dads are given the perfunctory, “Happy Father’s Day”. Other dads get an item of clothing, like a tie or pair of happy socks. And well-heeled sisters can gift their men an expensive gadget or the ride of their dream. 
Gifts are great. But most, if not all, do not last a lifetime. Below are five gift ideas that will make every single day to be Father’s Day ...

1. A safe heart that can keep secrets
Just a guess, but I think singer-songwriter, Babyface was speaking for many brothers in his song, Never Keeping Secrets, when he sang that he wanted to make up with his woman by not keeping secrets or telling lies.
Some lies stretch from way back in our childhood days. Some are about things that we did. Others are about things that we did to others. They are secrets that are shameful, or make us feel vulnerable, or make us to feel less manly. 
We may not want to open up because we feel that what we say may be used against us. 
Being a safe heart takes time. Work on it. But once you become that rock that a husband and dad can rely on, he’ll let you in to top secrets that nobody else knows.
