What Can You Give Dad On Fathers Day when you know it will be his last?

@Catcherintherye Said

I have heard a lot of family dilemmas and break ups due to their disfunctionality.But tonight I have a serious problem that is close to home.My Dad has been diagnosed with stage 4 Lung Cancer and its not likely he will ever live to see another on with me.Over the years I've given him everything from power tool to fishing tackle to dress shirts with pants.God allowed me to have him for 20 years and while neither of us were perfect,we always kept our differences between ourselves.This is going to be the last fathers day for me and I don't know what to give him.Everything I can think of I've already tried.What do you give a man who has already received everything I have to give? I'd love to give him a little more time or better yet a cure for Lung Cancer but these things are out of my reach so I'm asking for suggestions.He has little chance of still being with us for Christmas this year and I'm sure from Father's Day next year until I die,flowers will be all I can send to the cemetary. Please be kind because I'm very serious and it stresses me out. Thank you

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. That's awful news, and yet, whilst he is still here, I'm sure that he delights in seeing you, talking to you and knowing what you have planned for yourself & your future.

The best fathers day gift you can give him? Unless there is something specific he needs, your time would be the best gift of all to him. Hang out with him, talk about what you remember growing up with him, encourage him to do the same. Take some photos of you both together when you were younger. Take your camera with you.

Take advantage of the time you still have to acknowledge that he 's a superb dad. Take him out if he is well enough, to do something together you would both enjoy. And you know, you can always ask him what he would like to do. He may have something in mind himself.

It doesn't matter what you give him: when he dies, his memory will be forgotten. I noticed you mentioned God. The God of the Bible does not condone pagan festivals, such as, Fathers Day. How did he get lung cancer anyway? By smoking? If that's the case then he got what was coming to him. Despite saying that, I feel your pain and have sympathy for you.
