[ Frank's is the toughest present to figure out of them all. What do you give to a sort-of-dad that you actually like, who's tough as shit and doesn't seem to need anything?

Someone who, perhaps without knowing it, has repaired a young man's view of male adults in general and such a short amount of time, at that?
