Any “must do” things with your loved ones while they are still here?

Just found out my dad has stage 4 lung cancer that has mestastized to multiple organs. He’s starting chemo and we’re going to fight it as much as possible, but the doctors say he won’t be here 5 years from now. I’m absolutely devastated but im trying to find the silver lining by doing things with him that are important since we have a known timeline. My question is, are there any regrets you have or things you wish you would have said or done with your parents while you had the chance? We have a great relationship so we don’t need to bury any ill will towards each other and we have a few “bucket list” trips planned for once he feels up for it but I just want to make sure I can make the absolute most of this time we have left and leave nothing unsaid or un-done with him. We just went to build a bear and I had him record a message to me to put in the bear which was a very emotional affair. But what are things you wish you had done with your parents or loved ones while you still had the chance? Thank you in advance. Also, any and all thoughts and prayers would be so welcomed

He really sleeps like this. He used to be chained up to a tree outside and now he sleeps like this. I don’t even think he remembers his old life. Glad that’s in the past. Please enjoy my sweet angel, Rob.
