My Dad lost the fight with stomach cancer a few days ago. I was able to make the 12 hour drive straight to the hospital and stayed with him for his last day during which he was pumped full of morphine and semi-conscious. He passed peacefully with my Mom and two brothers at his side. The funeral service and burial were yesterday.  At last, the pain and misery he has endured for most of the last two years is over. 
Tomorrow, I'll head back home for a few days off before getting back to work.
If your parent(s) are still around, give them a call and tell them you love them. If not, take just a minute to pause and remember and honor them.

F*** cancer, sincerely.
Lost my mom a five years ago and my father in-law this year. I believe I can relate.
I wish you and your family a better 2018.

Yes, indeed. My dad was taken into hospital in the evening of 31 Dec 1999… so we spent the turn of the millennium at his bedside, where the nurses brought us cheap fizzy wine in plastic cups at midnight…. He survived that stay, but eventually succumbed much like yours a few months later. They say, no matter how old you are, you never really grow up until your parents are gone, and there’s a certain truth to that.
Good luck, and may next year be better.

Condolences. Lost my dad in 1987 to renal cancer. Hardest part was I missed him passing by minutes... sigh. Now that I'm a grandad and most of my children are 18+, I have so many questions for him. He's so much smarter now...

Sounds delicious!

Yes, this year they were delicious, especially considerating that we didn't prepare them traditionally in oil, but in the air-fryer instead. A lot healthier too !

Air fryer, interesting.
would also be curious to know how they hold up after a few days?
(assuming you also followed the part of the tradition of making way too many... so after a week or so there's no way you feel like eating them again till maybe about a year later.)
