"Dad, it's Eoghan. Remember the time the car broke down outside Athlone and we sat on the ditch for three hours eating Tayto, waiting for the AA? I think about that day a lot. Happy Father's Day."
"Grandad, push me on the swing again when I come over. Happy Father's Day!"
"Dad, it's Odharnait. The week before I left for Australia you filled the car with diesel and checked the tyres twice. Then you drove me to the airport at four in the morning."
"Hi love, it's Vera. Do you remember the first Father's Day after Eoghan was born, when you fell asleep on the couch with him on your chest for the whole afternoon? Happy Father's Day."
