Matt, Cherish your remaining time with your dad. The last Christmas we had with my dad, he ended up in the hospital with heart arrhythmia. He came home the day after Christmas, and told my mom not to call the paramedics the next time. He'd suffered 20 years with chronic hepatitis C, and also had prostate cancer working inside him. So we knew he wouldn't be with us the next Christmas.
I drove the 800 mile round trip every weekend to my parents' until my dad passed away in May. I don't regret doing it a bit. Tell your dad you love him - every visit.
