I'm in the same boat as you.  My Dad just turned 81 and has everything you can imagine.  He likes wildlife shows though, so I got him a National Geographic special on animals.  You can Google "National Geographic" for the website.  Or maybe your Dad likes old movies.  Think about what he likes to watch on TV and get him a video or two.

Well,first off,men like tools.But really,it depends on your father.You might buy him tennishshoes if he's athletic.If he's into cars-buy him tools.If he likes to read-give him a book.This is all I can think of right now.Happy picking!;)

If dad is no longer competent, I would suggest you have a guardianship for him.  Appoint son the guardian for dad - that should allow him to conduct dad's financial transactions and make health care decisions.

it's easy just to say the right thing to do is to apologize, which it is, but it's not that easy for someone with an abusive father like that. this all goes much deeper than any outsider looking in would see. so you can encourage him to say he's sorry, but as long as his Dad's not gonna change it may not do any good for their relationship. But deffinately encourage him to apologize. like you said, you only have one dad, and he could lose him at any time.

WEll first off your granfather is prabably just being protective, I would know my dad is like that. Anyways just plain straight out tell him. Write him a letter e-mail,anything. If you do do that make sure to have some good reasons and keep poping up the question why can't you just let me be with him? make him understand you truely love this guy.

Hello.  I'm glad you love the Lord.   I'm sure you're Dad will be fine.\nThey're letting you visit him, which is a very good sign.  They're just keeping him for a couple days to keep an eye on him and make sure he's strong enough to go home.\nI'll say a prayer for you and your Father....\nHe'll be home before you know it.\nMaybe you could do something special for him for when he gets home.  Clean up the house real good. Change the bedding on his bed.  Bake him a cake, or a pie....\nWith a caring daughter like you how could he not be better...\nGod Bless....

find someplace "neutral" and private such as... take him for a drive and go for a walk in the park, on the beach, a hike in the forest.... somewhere peaceful you can talk without having to just stare at eachother (like at the dinner table). \n\nthis will be hard for him so somewhere with some solitude where can "take it all in" in peace and privacy while being physically active like walking will help him through the moment. \n\nalso if he gets angry, yells, walks away to cool off, cries, hugs you, tells he loves you.... whatever... he can do it at his own pace. \n\ntell him directly, don't beat around the bush... men relate to directness and franknes... then let him take it from there... even if he doesn't say anything at first... let him take it in and go from there. \n\nhe's your dad, he loves you\ngood luck

My heart goes out to you and your Dad and your whole family. This must be really hard for you all. Especially around the holidays. I believe that everybody and every living thing on this earth has an energy about them. If I were you I would take his hand in yours and pour your energy into him. Give him as much as energy as you can. I cannot tell you how to do it because for me, it just happens. I can feel the love and the warmth intertwining with the other.\nThis is the time you of all people need to keep the faith, whichever faith that is. By you keeping the faith and sharing it with your Dad, it will help to keep his faith. More faith means more positive energy and a stronger recovery. Share your energy with your family and friends. It will be passed onto your Dad as well. \nDo not be sad. Sadness is not a good energy. You must believe all will be well. Know your Dad wants to be well. Deep inside he doesn't want to let you down. Show him how positive you are about it. Don't act it. Believe it and when all is said and done, things will be what they were. Maybe now, they will even be better. As a Dad myself, there is nothing more important to me than to make my daughter happy and I am sure your Dad is the same way.\nKeep the faith. Be positive. BELIEVE in your Dad recovery. Share your energy with him each and every time you see him. Tell him you love and not just in passing. Take an actual moment of time to convey this to him.\nChin up. Take note the beautiful day that is out there. Take a walk in nature. Let natures energy revive you, charge you, and bring that back to your Dad.\nTake care and remember. "Don't worry, be happy"!

i don't really think there is a whole lot you can do. Just be there for her and continue doing what you are doing. Try to talk to her and explain that things did not work out with you and her dad but you still love her as much as before and that you are both there for her. Don't put him down to her. Even if he is turning her against you, she will eventually see thru that. Good luck to you. It will work out. It just takes time.

Don't fret.... dads know about these things too.  Just tell him what ya need.

The first thing is not to think about "not saying no" to helping....instead, aproach your husband with "ways to help", that way you come off like your trying to help....and maybe your husband will see that you both are not financially stable enough to help his parents at this time!

Does your dad like tools? There are some neat ones that don't cost an arm and leg. Think of what he uses(in house and garage) and what he could use. I don't know how much money you have to spend, but you also can get a special stool so he can sit at his workbench, if he has one.\nMy husband also likes bath salts(some  are made just for men) and soaps,etc.\nDoes he need anything for his car? Sometimes they have gallon buckets made up with all kinds of car care things in it. Or you could do that on your own.\nHope this helps a little anyway.

I don't understand how you want people from all over the world to help your father? I really don't think that doctors sit on Yahoo giving out free medical advice, either. Nurses do though. I'll pray for your father. I'm sorry but that is all I can do for him. GOD BLESS YOU AND HIM!
