" Oh I say, the feeling again the cold of my fathers hand for the last time"
This quote i think means that this is the last time he will ever touch his fathers hand because he is leaving the world and he will never see his father again. i think this quote is also talking about the past and how his father lost his father the same way. that is why the narrator does not want to leave him because he knows that he will never see him again. I think the fathers hands being cold symbolizes how peoples hands are cold when they are sick or dying.
I think because he will never see him again he does not want to leave right away, he wants to cherish the last time he spends with him. He will wait with him no matter where else he has to go because he knows that this is more important than anything else right now. I also think his father told him stories of how he didn't visit his parents in the past and he regrets it now. the narrator does not want to be in regret that is why he will do whatever to spend time with them.
