Explanation:

In this context, "dad" is a general reference and not used as a proper - name substitute for a specific person's father. So, it should not be capitalized. The comma after "me" is used correctly to separate the two parts of the sentence, and the sentence is a statement, so the period at the end is appropriate.

Answer:

Make no change
