Guilt as my dad is deathly ill

I've visited my dad once a week for the last year in his. Nursing home. The year prior to it I visited twice a week. Sometimes he'd act irate and rude over little things but mostly it was a good visit. My sister said why not go once a week after he acted like that, especially since he turned a cheek our whole life when we were severely abused by our mother. So I said, yes I'll do once a week.

But now that he has aggressive cancer and could pass any day, I'm feeling a bit of guilt. Every visit, and now too, I do provide him kindness and snacks, getting what he needs etc. , music ...but of course there were extra days last year I could have gone as well. 🙁

You are doing everything you can, please don’t beat yourself up. Life’s happenings are out of your hands. Remember the time you had with him after getting away from your mom.
I have to say, our lives are eerily similar.
