I don't always get to spend much time with my dad ever since my parents got divorced, so I really enjoy it when he invites me over for some dinner.
If you get the chance, give your mom or dad a call. Even if it's just to say hello, I'm sure it will make their day!
FP Edit: Wow FP! What a great way to start my Friday. Thank you all so much for the kind words. You truly all make up such a wonderful community.
If any of you live in CT, around Fairfield County, please message me if you need any work done on your home. Not only is my dad a very good cook, but he's also a master carpenter with over 23 years of experience in the skill. Things are pretty slow for him right now and I'd love to help him out.
Thank you!

I too wish to have dinner with your dad.

When I was 12 my dad cheated on my mom, knocked up a real evil bitch, and started a new family. I'm 31, and we don't speak. Fuck him.
nononini
Wow, looks great! I hope you guys had fun!
DidgeryDrew
As a divorced dad, I hope my daughters come visit me as often as possible.

Both my parents have passed. I get jealous of people who can still hang out with theirs. Go visit if you can.

Your pops looks like a good cook

I'll make sure to tell him that, thank you!
hedgewizard
Yes, call them, visit them, tell them about your day, ask about theirs. Both my parents are gone now, and I miss those times.

I'm sorry for your loss

I try to see my Dad and my Uncle (his brother) at least once per month. My Mom passed away 8 years ago. She didn't like me but I miss her.
IamtheDickie
I like you

I lost my dad last October. I truly miss sharing meals with him. He was the only other person in my family to enjoy seafood with me.

The plain crinkle cut fries really pull the whole meal together. Top notchery
thatitaliano
Lmao you may be the only one that said something nice about his crinkle cut fries. You sir have great taste ahaha
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
I'll admit I was being a little sarcastic but also I see no reason why not to have them. Fries are damn delicious lol

After a cancer scare for my grandpa, my folks have the entire family over for dinner every single Sunday. It's been 10 years this year.
twfeline
I wish my father would invite me over, but his shrew of a second wife hates all of "his" children by a former woman.
theguynexttoyou
My dad passes 22 years ago next month. However I am making crab legs tonight for my wife, this post makes me think of seafood and my dad. ?
Yumbledore
I don't even know where either one of them lives.

Is your dad Italian? Because this looks exactly like the presentation I get when I visit my Italian in-laws.
thatitaliano
YES! Its pretty cool how you know that.
itzujones1
My mom has been in the hospital since November 2020! Because of COVID and I live 3 hrs away , I have not seen her! She can’t talk well!

I have bad physical anxiety and hate being touched. I find it very difficult to give my mum hugs and affection. 1/2
Xenvia
But yesterday, I managed to swallow my anxiety and I laid with her on the sofa and she played with my hair. It'll be a cherished memory. <3

I wish my parents would even visit me
PurpleRhino
You should visit them and raid their fridge and then leave.
Puppydonkeybaby
I don't think that a plane ticket is worth that. And that's a 2 or 3k ticket round trip.
OhKittyWhoaKitty
I lost my mom to cancer almost 3 years ago. I had no idea how much I would need her. @OP is right. Call your parents. They need you, too.

I lost my mom to cancer today. It hasn't really hit me yet that she's gone.
freshoffthecouch
It took about 7 months to hit me and it's still tough. Whatever is happening with your emotions, never feel guilty! We all grieve in time
OhKittyWhoaKitty
I'm so sorry.

Thank you! I also believe strongly that family isn't just something you're born with, it's also something you get to choose!
