Show him a deep sense of bonded love and make him feel like it's an honor to support him every step along his path. If he's able take him somewhere special like a charter fishing trip or a Island Cruise. If not just spend as much time as you can playing board games, cards or anything that is contusive to inviting good conversation. Have him tell you the stories from his childhood, his teenage years etc. “The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime”. Quoted from a Pink Floyd song

First of all I would tell him how much I love him and how much I appreciate him. Sometimes these things are never said and especially if he is terminally ill it would make him happy.
Then I would ask him what his favorite thing to do was and whatever he would say I would do with him...who knows how much longer I would have him....

When my dad was terminally ill with cancer I spent as much time as I could with him and tried to be sure I knew how to help my mom.

I watched my father slowly die as the lung cancer ate away at him. He went from 180 lbs to 120lbs and was 6'3". However, I was there for him and mom during that time. There were good times and not so good times. At times we would talk about things and other times if he didn't want to talk we just watched a few movies. Just being there helped him.

I would show him how much I love him, spend as much time with him as I could, and do anything that I'd always wanted to do with him before it was too late. I would cherish every moment I had with him, and when it comes times, say everything I ever needed to say to him while saying goodbye.

well i dont know my Dad all that well, but if I would suggest for you, maybe traveling with him, if that is at all possible, im sure he would like to see new things before he goes and you guys can enjoy yourselves together, if he cant get around too easily, I would say maybe taking him to movies, going shopping with him, just spend as much time possible with him, ask him what he wants to do, etc.

I went through this with my Mom.
I held her hand and told her I loved her.
We went about our daily lives as though nothing had changed until it was plain that we would never see normal again.
You can't spend the time you have left mourning- spend the time doing what your father enjoyed most or if nothing else spend it holding his hand and letting him know that you love him.

What do you mean do with him? Like take trips and stuff?
I would take my dad somewhere that he has always wanted to go and really spend some quality time with him

I went through the same predicament. It is difficult. I would suggest try and be there for him as much as you can. Tell him you love him. If he is suffering, try and stay strong. My dad had cancer and had hospice help at home.
