Sorry for the lack of updates...Things have gotten bad here. My Father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer early last week....given a couple months....
So I have not had much time to work on things. Hour here....hour there....too much to get done before my father passes.

Spend the time with your Dad. You'll kick yourself later if you don't. Live life and make more memories. Later, when you are left alone, you can use the project to occupy yourself and your mind. Sorry to hear the news.

The years of asbestos he inhaled while working as a piper layer through the 70's and 80's, finally caught up with him.

Really sorry to here about your Pop Cow, do not leave one thing unsaid, it's the perfect time to do it.
I didn't tell my mom I loved her when I left her house the last time, and never had another chance, still bothers me and it's been 19 years.

Man, I'm sorry to hear about your dad.
As others have said, spend ever waking moment you can with him, though bad and whatever good times he has left. I did that with my mom, and i was there up until the very end. I walked out of the room for about an hour, and got called back in as she was gone. The nurses who worked there told me that the very last sense is hearing that we have when we die. Even though she was in a coma for the last 24 hours, supposedly she could still hear me. I told her that I loved her, and always did. I made sure she knew I was there for her, and her "gift" to me was to pass when I left the room. The nurse said it happens all the time, as they don't want the family members seeing the end....
