Shawnski, I'm heading down that same path myself, so here's my suggestion and what I hope to do, one last time with my father. Take him for a drive, someplace special that he will appreciate. Then tell him how important he has been to you and what impact he has had on your life. Be specific. Let this be a little trip down memory lane for both of you, and let him remember the good times you shared. Telling him this from your heart will be the greatest gift you can give your father. He will know that he has done his job well, and that you know the same thing. His job as a father will be done.
