Readers Respond: What do you remember most about your father?

For most girls, our dads are our first love, and for most boys, they're our first hero. 

But not all of us have good relationships with our fathers. 

On Father's Day we asked you what you remember most about your dads, and here are some of your sweet, touching, and relatable responses. 

Michelle Addison - His cuddles and beautiful voice as he sang songs from his home back in Belfast.

Cheryl Whyte - Just how much I loved him. The best Dad a girl could wish for.

Helen Phillips - My darling Dad was a true gentleman and a gentle man. I was truly blessed. Miss you Dad. I love you.

Jan Arentz - My dad was my hero. Kind, funny, compassionate, and a strong sense of social justice as he lived through two World Wars and the Great Depression. Always in my heart and missed every day.

Vivienne Longstaff - Kindness, his singing and terrible sense of humour.

Marianne Bonaci - His honesty, integrity and his infinite love for the family!

Alison Calderwood - His strong love, kindness and gentleness, always polite to everyone, plus ability to fix anything.

Maryke Monk - The laughter! Dad was always saying and doing funny things. We used to laugh till our sides ached.

Kelley Toohill - Manners, teaching me how to hold doors open. How to shake hands with respect and intent. Eye contact and its importance. Standing up to let those less able sit in your seat. Road manners as well, let the person in where it is safe etc. How to be grateful to have a mother as he lost his at a very young age.

Ann Weatherall - His great wee chats we had together. We could talk about anything. My role model. My Dad. Sadly I only had him until I was 33. He was 64.
