Gift ideas for dying father...

[hopelesscase]

My dad got diagnosed with cancer 9wks ago and we have just found out there is nothing more they can do for him, and it is a matter of weeks before he goes, I wanted to get him something to cheer him up (if you can) and make him happy......anyone got any thoughts?

I'm am so sorry to hear of this situation.

 

I think your best gift to him is your time and presense. Be with him, be there for him...

Agreed with frisco.

 

I am so sorry about your dad, hon. This will be a very tough time, but what he, and you, will appreciate and remember the most is the memories you have together. Make the most of what you have left.

 

When my mum was diagnosed, I wrote her a letter telling her how much I loved, and appreciated her, and how proud I am of her, and stated how positive a role model and mother she has been in my life. I gave it to her to read privately, and she was very grateful. It was a chance for me to say everything I wanted to to her in case I never got another chance, I think that would be a wonderful gift for him, and truly from the heart.

Thanks for the thoughts, I am going to go and see him tomorrow and stay down with my mum for the rest of the week (they live 5hrs from me).

If he's mobile then a long drive sightseeing is always good.

 

 

I've been through it with both my parents and know that your time and presense is really the best gift.

Thanks for you ideas, he died on weds before I got a chance to see him
