I'm occasionally reading your posts and sending well wishes to all. I'm out of town and with my family, helping and cherishing the last moments I get with my father --the most intelligent man I know, my Clint Eastwood, my hero ๐Ÿ˜ข

Enjoy the time you have with him. One other thing ask him all the questions you always wanted to ask him. Like what he liked to do when he was a kid, Iโ€™m sure he would love to let you know. Just enjoy him.

Happy Thanksgiving ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฝ

Several years ago I video taped my parents life stories. I now have treasures. But wonderful suggestions

erash YES!!! Videotaping is the best! I was just going to recommend it!! That, and recording his voice. :) Nothing captures a person and brings those memories to life again better than video and recordings. Photos are great, but I prefer the others to round it out. OK, this is going to sound corny, but it might be a precious gift to someone, so I'll go ahead 'n say it anyway: Ask your Dad if he would sing "Happy Birthday" to someone as you record him. Then, the tape can be given to that person on their birthday. โœจ (You could do it for each family member if it isn't too taxing.)

Your Dad looks like a sweetheart. I hope you have a lot of beautiful time together. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Have no regrets.

Wishing you God's peace, my friend.

Hello, Erash. What a beautiful photo. My dad was my hero, also, and I miss him very much, every day, even though it's been 17 years already. I still see and talk with him in my dreams. He was the one who taught me to be tough and independent and to above all be honest in everything I do. A father-daughter is very special. Enjoy your time with your family, and have a happy holiday.
