I have no words of wisdom for you. But I do have compassion. And hugs - lots of hugs if they help.

You love your dad a great deal. That has been so clear here on the board. And he loves you - remember that he told you so recently.
I think that this is one of those decisions where you need to let your heart guide you rather than your head. The decision has too many unknowns, and it is not possible to weigh the options - the options are not comparable. Can you accept that there *is* no way to "logically" make this decision? And let your heart make it? Can you sit with him and hold his hand and let his presence let you know what to do? You can make the decision together (even if he doesn't communicate conventionally with you). He trusts you. Now you need to trust you.
