    I'm very close to my kids and would speak & text a few times a week. I still like to get that 'extra' call today. It was a quick Happy Father's day and then a long mutual moan about yesterday's footy. Then I rang my Dad and did the same. Precious moments

    Heading into hospital later to see my dad for Father's Day!

    He had surgery last week to remove part of his oesophagus and stomach due to cancer so it's a happy visit as they are satisfied they got all the cancer and he can now focus on recovering after over a year battling this horrible disease.

    Think this is the first Father's Day where I'm actually very appreciative that my dad is still around ...

    What would your dad say if you got him a bouquet of flowers?

    Well flowers are what I'm getting my dad today. I'm sure he'd like them anyway

    I got a variety box of very strong Belgian beers. Now I appreciate the gift but after what happened yesterday I just can't have them in my house. So i'll just have to drink it all as quick as possible.

    Really missing my dad today. I could really use his wisdom at the moment. I heard Dance With My Father on the radio earlier and just lost it. On the up side I've got a great husband who works really hard for his kids so he's getting spoilt.

    It's natural to be upset. Don't try to ignore it, it's okay to feel it.

    At the same time though, focus on making good memories with your kids and husband. Was there anything you loved doing with your dad that you could do with them? To be able to pass on those memories and relive them with your own kids might be a nice way of remembering him today

    Got my Dad flowers cos as part of his present cos he'll like have some new flowers to bring to Mam's grave.

    More than the socks, chocs and books combo he usually gets anyway.

    Thanked him for all the great memories he's given me - teaching me how to play football, hurling, pitch and putt, how to use a lathe...and all the times he was just a great Dad.

    Hopefully I can follow in those footsteps with Littl'un

    Had a fine father's day last year. Bought Dad a new shirt and a watch. Cooked him a freshly caught salmon and then sat down together to watch the GAA. I never did that before as by my own admission I would not be big into occasions but last year was really special.

    Almost a month later he was 6ft under out of nowhere. Really feeling it today but ehh life goes on.

    Fathers, remember that you don't have to be the perfect example to your children. You can also function as a sort of hideous warning.

    Sorry for your loss, the first one is really difficult. Hope you're doing okay.

    I'm sure all our dads not with us would give us a kick in the ass for moping about the place with faces as long as wet weekends. I know daddy L would be appauled at how sad I've been since he died. He would tell me to eat all the chocolate and buy myself a present with the money I'd have spent on him, so that's exactly what I'm trying to do today. Im going to try this whole no more being sad on what should be nice days.

    Missing my Dad so much today. He did so much for me - way above and beyond what a father should do for their (adult) child. I feel quite lost without him.

    Happy Fathers Day Dad!

    I called my Dad to wish him happy Father's Day and he booted me off the phone because he was watching the match.

    Harrumph!
