Make the most of it, chat, reminisce, write it down or record him if he permits, itās a lovely thing to have and heāll never have spoken so openly,
In some ways the worst is behind you or youāre living it today, acceptance follows

Sorry to hear that bud, best wishes to you and all the family. There is never a good time to get news like that, but Christmas time definitely makes it worse. the only thing is that hopefully it gives ye all a good chance over the holidays to spend quality time together.

I donāt have anything to add but you clearly have a great relationship with him, which is a great thing. Makes it much harder on you. Youāll grit your teeth and carry on, like heās reared you. Iām really sorry.

@Watchyourtoes sorry to hear that news, a tough one to come to terms with. And you will come to terms with it, in your own time, in your own way. You canāt rush that, donāt try.
Iād echo @Lockeās sentiments above. I sat down with the ould lad in not dissimilar circumstances and recorded him talking about his life, from his youth right through. After the initial awkwardness it turned into a first hand account of the life of the man his grandchildren wouldnāt get to know otherwise. Well worth it.
Mind yourself.

I intimated it but yeah, Iām doing it at the moment with my Dad. Important that we as a family have his wisdom, his thoughts, his voice down on paper so to say. And heās happy to do so.
