How do I get the parent record for an approval via a flow

I have a flow that I want to use to close out any outstanding approvals after a period of time.

 

I can identify the approval records, add comments and cancel them easily, however I also want to add a message to the parent record to advise the user that the approval has been cancelled because it has exceeded the max allowed time for an approval. Then advise them that they should resubmit if they still require whatever they had asked for approval of.

 

I cannot see how I can get to the parent record to add a comment. 

 

Ideas?
