...grandpa who is on kemo for prostate cancer...? My grandpa is on kemo for prostate cancer. He's not nauseous and still has his appetite, but is diabetic- so sending sweets is out. He is so weak and tired- I live in NY and he's in Idaho- I can't be there to care for him but want to show him I still care so much- Do you have any thoughtful practical gift ideas?I call weekly to talk and tell him I love him- I just want to give something tangible that can help him feel better...i think i should give my grandma something too- she's going through soo much right now with him being sick... (they just had their 60th aniversary!)

so very very sorry to hear about your grandpa. Maybe a couple of good books, pictures of the family,put together some old and recent pic's of the family including animals...that might help. Also, why don't you write him something special like how much he means to you and maybe bring up all the good times you guys had together. If he likes to draw, place paper,pens,markers,etc.....he might like that. If he can have fruit....a nice little basket would be nice.If I think of anything else i will write back. Good luck to you and your grandpa........everything will turn out ok....have faith sweetie...........

a fun idea would be to buy some old magazines (like a LIFE mag with his favorite old movie star on the cover or an important event to him) from when he was a young scrapper off of ebay that he can read and laugh and have memories about...or get some old movies that he can watch to take his mind off things.

flowers, fruits, maybe chocolate candy

I am sorry. You are already doing the most important thing which is talking with him. His diet is limited so gift baskets which usually have food in them would be very difficult. How about a balloon bouquet? It is cheerful. Or send the gift basket with your grandmother in mind so she can snack. Most good florists have fruit baskets. But a wonderful feel better card with a nice letter in it containing memories and why you love him, etc would be super too. It is a difficult time and they are lucky to have such a considerate granddaughter since most young people avoid this time and feel scared of it. But we will be there where they are someday because it ( old age) happens to everyone usually. That is wonderful they had a 60th anniversary

How about some movies (VHS, DVD) and some microwave popcorn.
