Chivas Regal Father's Day Ad by David Abbott
Because a red Rudge bicycle once made me the happiest boy on the street.
Because you let me play cricket on the lawn.
Because you never expected too much of me or let me get away with too little.
Because of all the nights you sat working at your desk while I lay sleeping in my bed.
Because you never embarrassed me by talking about the birds and the bees.
Because you bought me a football and showed me how to kick it and never once told me off for breaking a window.
Because you encouraged me to read, but never told me what to read.
Because you always had time for me, even when you didn't.
Because you taught me how to tie a tie and polish my shoes and open a bottle of champagne.
Because you never laughed when I cried, and you never cried when I laughed.
Because you've more than your fair share of grey hairs and I know who helped put them there.
Because you're a marvelous grandfather.
Because you made my wife feel one of the family.
Because you wanted to go to McDonald's the last time I bought you lunch.
Because you've always been there when I've needed you.
Because you let me make my own mistakes and never once said “I told you so.”
Because you still pretend you only need glasses for reading.
Because I don't say thank you as often as I should.
Because it's Father's Day.
Because if you don't deserve Chivas Regal, who does?
