Fathers tell the same six stories and nobody writes them down. This journal fixes that with prompts a man will actually answer: the first car, the job he hated, the advice his own father gave, the moment he knew. It is organized by life stage so he can skip around, and the pages leave enough room for the long version.
It is the Father's Day or Christmas gift for a dad in his sixties or seventies, and the retirement present that gives him a project. Grandparents with young grandchildren fill it in for them. The ask is the gift: tell me.
Paperback, about 150 pages, lined, with a section for photos at the back. Pair it with a pen he will like and a deadline, since that is what gets it finished.
