So, from cute to sad to funny to heartwarming, here are some of the best.
“From day one, my dad was my ride-or-die.
“He played all the old rock music he grew up with, and we’d have long conversations."
My parents divorced when I was 5, but he never left my life.
When I was an angry teenager, Dad recognized I needed more than just therapy.
He started buying me concert tickets and drove me to any show in the city I wanted.
“He died of cancer in 2016.
I’d tell him everything.
Sometimes if he felt up to it, we would get late-night IHOP.

When it was just us, everything was so calm and he was happy and always joking.
We would always go out for lunch, and later, a gas station snack.
“My dad worked at a university.
Sometimes he’d pick me up from elementary school and take me to the university food court for lunch.
“My favorite memory is when my dad taught me how to drive.
Being a daddy’s girl who shared his birthday, it only brought us closer.”
“There are so many good memories of my dad.
He passed away 15 years ago.
My favorite one, though, goes back to the summer of 1978.
They built the pool in the sunniest part of the yard.”
“The problem was, there was no entrance on that side of the house just windows.
One day, Mom was heading out to go grocery shopping.
Dad asked if there was anything he could do while she was gone.
She said, shortly, ‘Yes.
Put a door on that side of the house.’
“Well, I never saw anything appear as fast as that chainsaw!
By the time the station wagon left the driveway, Dad was ripping through the wall.
By the time Mom returned, the whole wall was gone, framing and all.
She was shocked that he took her direction so literally!
By nightfall, the framing was rebuilt, and the door was installed.
Dad finished the rest of the work over the next few days.
I’ll give you a hint…if they aren’t from here they are a….Foreigner!
‘or, ‘Is this Van Halen one, two, or three?').”
“I was in choir back in middle school.
I was really looking forward to it.
As I was going down to sing my solo, I saw my dad smiling at me.
It was the best memory I had of him.”

“My father died in 2014.
My father had never been one prone to getting excited, and was quite serious in demeanor.”

We sang it together and I was able to keep it together and not cry.”
I was a single mom, raising two girls, and working seven days a week.

He made me feel so loved.
That was over ten years ago.
I love my dad.”
My dad worked nights until midnight.
So he started taking me for drives to get me to sleep.
He would laugh whenever I would say something I probably shouldn’t have, but also didn’t understand.
His favorite one was going past a strip club, and me yelling, ‘Daddy!
It’s a place for Mommy to go!
Girls!'””
“Look, I absolutely love my dad.
He’s the best dad I could have ever asked for.
“I remember going to my family’s lake cabin for a few weekends.
I’d give anything to have one such a weekend again as an adult.”
“I asked him what was up, but he just gestured at me to sit down.
I did so, and he promptly began reciting a rap of his own making.
I love my dad.”
“My dad wasnt around when I was a kid.
He is my biggest support now and weve made amends.
