Honor Thy Father

This is the hardest post to write. I have been avoiding the blog for weeks because I wish to sojourn in the land of Egypt, you know, the land of de-Nile. When I pick up the phone to call him, or plan my next trip to Vegas, or get a sympathy card, or write this blog, it all comes back.
I just want it not to be true, but it is.

Father of Food passed away on October 5th.

He will be missed, remembered, needed, yearned for, but never forgotten.

Visiting Vegas Again

Went to Vegas to Visit FoF in the hospital again. For those of you who know Father of Food personally, he has been in the hospital for several months now after breaking his leg for the second time in just a couple of months. He is improving, but slowly. He walked down the hall this weekend, with the steadying of an assistant, a walker, and my Mom following him with the wheelchair in case he fell back. He made it down the hallway and then sat in the wheel chair for the ride back. It was quite an improvement over the few steps we saw him taking a couple of weeks ago.

If you don't know FoF, but want to read some of his posts, here are a few links.

Let's all wish Father of Food a speedy recovery.
