What do you do now?

They say he has cancer, that it's bad, all over. There isn't much hope and the old man (spoken affectionately) is dying. He's 76 and he's lived a full life but for years he's been a dad to me, a grandfather to my kids and even knowing how old he is I am heartbroken. I don't want him to die, I just can't fathom the thought of not being able to call and talk to him. I love that old man more than he will ever know, he's old school and I love you's aren't common place for him. He has cancer in his lymph nodes and stomach, and a mass that is now closing off his esophagus. He is having a bit of trouble breathing, he can't eat without throwing up. He's lost 50 pounds in a small amount of time, in short he's dying. What do I do now?
