I just got a call from my mother. Hospice care has advised us to come say our goodbyes. My dad isn't going to make it to the weekend. I'm on my way to have my final conversation with the man who taught me to be a man. Please keep my family in your thoughts.

I was 16 when I lost my dad. It really sucked. You know what to say.
If it was me, I would tell my dad how much I loved and respected him. How he was the best. How I was going to pass down everything to his grandchildren. How I would see him on the other side. Then I would spend he rest of the time reliving special times -- for me, that's ski trips, getting picked up from school early to head to the deer lease on opening weekend, dove hunts, watching the Horns together, him being at my games, watching baseball games at the Dome, BBQs, etc.

That's actually the exact things I just did. Although he is not my biological father, he is the dad that has been there most of my life.You just validated me in ways you cannot fathom.
My dad can't carry on conversation so it's difficult for me to truly express myself like I would like to because it's hard for me to see him that way. His organs are shutting down by the day and he's in tremendous amounts of pain. I'm going back to my moms tomorrow to visit some more and hopefully he is responsive. I feel like shit for coming to Austin this weekend.

Sounds like your dad -- and biological has zero to do with a man being a dad -- will be leaving a hell of a legacy.
Not sure if your are the religious type, but I am. I've experienced an unusual amount of loss in my 35 years. There is a CS Lewis quote that comforts me a great deal when I think about all the loved ones I've lost:
“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desire not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures ... we are like ignorant children who want to continue making mud pies in a slum because we cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a vacation at the sea."
