Steve:

Make the best of the last few pages of your Dad's life, and make Christmas wonderful for him. Invite people you both know, who are also alone, for the occasion. Make nice dinners for everyone, package nice little gifts that are meaningful. People in that age don't need expensive gifts, but the gifts that are meaningful that can remind them of something will mean a lot to them.

Always love the sentiments in your write.
