Idea for dad's bday, has stage 3b lung cancer?!


Question: my father will be 65 on 1Mar. He was also diagnosed with Stage 3b lung cancer in Dec. His treatment is going very well, but still has to have radiation daily.

I have no idea what to get him for his birthday. Something meaningful. Money is not an issue for me. I am just stumped.

Thanks.

I would suggest making a list as far back as you can remember of the good,funny,loving,memorable times together with him or with the whole family.
Make a greatful list of everthing he has done for you and who he is as a father to you.
Maybe a poster with photos from the beginning with those special times up till the present.
Sit with him and talk about the goodness he brought to you in your life.
Even if he has not been the best father,come up with the most memorable even if he was not the perfect father.
This will surely encourage him and let him know how important he is by you remembering those things.Even the small things that may seem insignificant, really can mean alot.

Hope this helps.I pray healing for your dad.

Does he like to hunt or fish? Take him on a trip to hunt or fish. Or send him on a neat vacation to Yosemite National Park.

Do you have pictures you could put together in an album like through shutterfly or picaboo? you can combine pictures of him and his family, you, poems or sentiments from your relationship with him. If you need to put something together with a little less effort you can make posters now through online photo shops - costco, target, etc.

take an ad out in the local paper that celebrates his life and what he means to his family.

Make or do something that symbolizes his strength. A small bracelet he can wear (engraved with a powerful saying) to keep him positive and remind him of his strengths every day.

If you have children and/or siblings - cast a hand print or something like a "thumbs up" in some type of cement - I see stepping stones sets at craft stores.

What does he do to pass his time - I imagine lots of rest but does he like to read or listen to music - you could put together a basket and and something personal to each item.

It is hard to come up with ideas! Good luck to you on finding a great gift for your dad and good luck to your dad in recovering.

As a father, the best birthday present I could receive is the time my children and grandchildren spend with me. It is not always the material things that please, but love and companionship. If he lives alone, take time to do some household chores for him; prepare some of his favorite meals; do any shopping for him; watch some of his favorite tv programs with him; if you have children, have them create their own birthday cards and read them to him; go with him for his treatments (if you are able); and tell him how much you love him. I know that those type of things mean the world to me. I'm glad that his treatments are going well, but to have daily treatments is quite an ordeal. God be with you both.

NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD EVER BUY WHAT YOUR DAD NEEDS THE MOST.WRITE HIM A LETTER AND TELL HIM WHAT`S IN YOUR HEART.TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM AND NEED HIM.HE WILL CHERISH IT AND READ IT OVER AND OVER.IT WILL HELP HIM THROUGH THIS BATTLE WITH CANCER.SPEND AS MUCH TIME WITH HIM AS YOU CAN.TALK TO HIM AND LISTEN TO HIS STORIES.YOU`LL BE GIVING A GIFT TO YOURSELF THAT YOU`LL NEVER FORGET. CHERISH EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE TOGETHER. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU!! I`LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR DAD

I had a cousin who died almost two years ago from complications with lung and then brain cancer. But some of the best pictures is of her birthday party when all the family came over to celebrate with her. She had a pink floral scarf and pink athletic suit on and she's smiling from ear-to-ear blowing out her candles.

The best gifts won't cost much, so just be there with him.
