Man, you have the best reason in the world: you need to take care of your dad, and somebody offered you a full-time job right near his place, so you can support yourself _and_ take care of him indefinitely.
Managers come in about four grades, from 1 (mensch) to 4 (right bastard). Even a grade 3 (untrustworthy corporate toady) would accept the news with moderately good grace. And your boss seems like a 1.5 at the very least.
Be sure, of course, to thank him profusely for the consideration he's given you; without his help, you'd have had no income at all in a difficult situation. But make sure it's understood that this is a move you really have to make, to normalize your life around being your dad's care-giver.
