My Ultimate Father’s Day Present

Scott,
 
Last year on Father’s Day you advised readers to sit down with their father and ask them five questions on video. My father was 75 and was over for dinner on Father’s Day so I did this and recorded his answers. Two months later he was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer, and last week he passed away after a four-month battle. Tomorrow is his funeral and we will be playing this video. This footage is the last video of my father truly happy without the fear of a terminal cancer diagnosis. My family and I can not thank you enough for giving me the idea to ask my father these questions, and I strongly urge everyone to do the same as we truly cherish this video.

Hi Nathan
 
I’m really sorry for your loss.
 
However, I’m thankful you’ve given me the opportunity to give people a nudge to do what I call the ‘ultimate Father’s day present’.
 
If you’re lucky enough to have your father (or mother!) still with you, whip out your phone, hit ‘record’, and ask them the following questions:
 

• How did you meet Mum?

• What advice can you share with me about money, life and happiness?

• What does being a dad mean to you?

• What are you most proud of?

• How would you like to be remembered?

There are a few things in life that cost nothing but are truly priceless. You now have one of them.

Scott.
