I remember as a kid I was convinced my dad was a real life superhero. He would come home and it would feel like he saved the day just by being there with me. I also remember that he traveled a lot during different parts of my life, always for work, but I thought it was because he was off saving the world.

I can recall the handful of times he went on my girl scout trips and having my Mr. Mom with me made me the coolest girl on the trip, every time! He played games, helped me learn, and helped me grow into the person I am today in so many different ways.

I have a distinct memory of him lecturing me about school when I was about 13. I brought home my first really bad grade and he was so unhappy with me. He sat down and explained that my middle school and high school years were laying the "foundation" for my education. I think he actually spent almost that entire year encouraging me to really absorb what I was learning in school and wanting me to succeed so badly that we spent hours doing extra credit projects so that I would get a better grade; these are two memories that I reflect back on often, I cherish the advice he gave me and the time he spent with me.

Things haven't always been perfect though, we both know that. We went through rough patches where we didn't really understand each other, I guess that's just part of growing up.

We've been through periods of time where we didn't talk much, but I always knew he loved me. No matter what, he's been there when I really needed him and for that I'm so grateful. He's helped me more than I could ever even begin to explain.

He's worked hard through out my life, always achieving new feats and staying so disciplined through out his career. He inspires me to constantly keep learning, he inspires me to grow into a better person. He simply inspires me.

While he still may have some superhero qualities, the fact that I'm an adult now means that I've come to the realization that he is really just a normal person, just like the rest of us, just like every parent. While he may have made a few mistakes (hey, we all do)...  That doesn't change a thing, I still want him to know he's a superhero in my eyes and always will be!

My superhero only deserves the best so when I was shopping for something he would like at Macy's, I was certain I found the right gift when I found this handsomely scented Nautica Life Gift Set while browsing the cologne section. Nautica Life celebrates the lifelong journey of love with a refined blend of uplifting freshness, mysterious aromatics, and seductive woods - the perfect cologne for a superhero!

I'm so thankful for my Dad, my superhero, and everything he does for me. Surprising him with a Nautica Life gift set is the perfect way to spoil him. I'd love to hear, how do you plan on showing your Pops your appreciation on Father's Day this year?
