My mom has seen me skate... twice. My dad, maybe once!
My DH is my biggest fan... make that "was" since I think DD is beating him to that. He would come with me to competitions - not all, but I dare say 80%, *even* those that involved more than 12 hours' flight. He would be my videographer & photographer, even taking videos of me at competition practise ice (so I can watch it before my event). He would babysit DD when I skate and coach.
Unfortunately, the farthest I got in getting him to skate was taking a course of summer lessons, after which he decided he was better off watching.
