What to get my dad for birthday?

I asked it before but just seeing if I get more ideas.
He has cancer and may only have weeks to live. That feels so awful saying it. 😟He used to love when I got him scratch tickets but those wouldn't be useful. Food is a possibility, but he only takes a few bites at meals.
I'm just not sure what to get..it's this week. Someone before mentioned just a nice card. Any additional thoughts?

I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Think comfort. Whatever could bring his comfort..
Soft blanket, fuzzy socks or if he’s hot then something that could help cool him off instead. Several years ago my dad was dying from cancer and I got him a warm blanket and he told me he was always hot lol so make sure you know if he’s always hot or cold. And I got him his favorite chocolate pie. It was the last thing he ate.. just a bite. And of course nothing is better than time. Time time time I can’t stress tha enough

@tiltawhirl Aww I'm sorry about your dad🌷 did he have chemo? Yes time is the most important rn. I'm staying nearly all day each time I visit. And I'm getting him his favorite sandwich tomorrow

@Coralmist no he didn’t do chemo because by the time he found out what was going on with him he was practically already dying. I’m happy you are getting to spend time with your dad and I wish I could give you a big hug and I know it’s so hard.

@tiltawhirl That's essentially my dad's experience, he's getting too ill to endure treatment. This sucks😟 I wish they gave him even six months, that would be a lifetime to me now!! But we probably have weeks....I'm going to spend every minute as If it were a year with him. Thank you 🌸
