Today, we were told by our family doctor that my dad only has a month left to live. We cried, laughed and cried some more together. Tonight, my dad asked me if he could spend the first night in my new condo with me. I smiled and said, “Of course.” The kicker… I don't move in for another 2 months. MMT

If you haven't told him yet and not plan on doing this, I'd advice to reconsider and tell him anyways. Knowing you'll die soon must be a horrible feeling, however, doing everything you've wanted to do during that time, and spending that time with the people you love most, is a feeling that greatly exceeds it. At least, thats how I feel. I wish you and your dad the best.

Just because the doctor gives you a time frame, doesn't mean that the person will die by then. My grandmother was given three months to live back in June of last year, she lived until November. Make sure you don't waste your time with him.

My boyfriend's father was told he had less than a week to live and that was almost two years ago. Regardless, make every minute the best you can.
