You also get many props and cheers from me. I am 27 and my Dad left when I was 4. I never saw him again until I was 19 and it was me who had to put forth the effort to go see him (as well as his side of the family...Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents). I saw him again in 2004 when we went to shove it in his face that we finally met our half sister by him who was 15. He has never been there for me (even when he was there in my younger years). You are great for being there for your children in their greatest time of need....they will appreciate that more than you know!!
I also have to throw one in for husbands of CFers. My husband has been great and he didn't have to stick with me when things got rough when many others would take off and not want to deal with it. He knew that I had CF and was getting worse when we started dating and he didn't care. We have been together for 10 years as of June and our 6 year wedding anniversary is on July 27th!! He has done so much more than he has really had to and I love him that much more for it.
