Mine is story without a happy ending. At 7, my oldest daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. While life expectancy had increased to about 20 years, there was no cure. The center of my life and all of my spare time was given to researching this condition to find that cure. I joined an online group and luckily met some people far smarter than me. Spare hours were spent reading PubMed, which is a collection of research articles written by the foremost scientists around the world. Our group, called Sharktank, made some major inroads in understanding CF. We developed a novel therapy that is in use in the wider CF population. We even proposed some therapies with GSH that other researchers examined. Unfortunately, I was unable to solve the mystery of CF before my daughter's lungs gave out. A father is supposed to protect his kids. In this regard, I failed my daughter who was 20 when she passed. She is, for me, still a confidant and love who remains a part of my life.
