Would you still get on a plane if one of your family members were ill?

I don't want to write too much... but:

Was due to go on a short flight (somewhere still in Europe) with my parents and sibling (both of us are young adults) and I had a gallstone attack at the airport. I'm awaiting surgery.

This obviously stopped me from getting on the plane. Rest of family were very supportive, but when the time came for them to get on the plane, they did go. My mum did leave a key and money, etc. I wasn't just stranded.

They were meeting other family out there, so felt they had to go.

As I've had many attacks, they didn't really feel like they needed to stay behind.

I feel extremely weird about the whole thing. Would you have done the same thing?

even if you were 45 years old and I were your elderly mum would I have left you.
Yikes. I need sleep. Should have read "I wouldn't have left you."

Don't think I'd leave anyone in those circumstances, certainly not my child (regardless of age)
