Read previewSeven years ago, my son, Ryan, turned 13 years old.
After the balloons and a breakfast cupcake, we packed a picnic lunch and set out for a beautiful hike.
Within 20 minutes, we reached the base of Sugarloaf Peak and began the ascent to a 360-degree view of the San Francisco Bay.
With each year that he grows older, it feels as though I'm traversing new terrain, too, learning and evolving alongside him.
Our stories are a testament to the transformative power of growth, resilience, and mutual support possible between a parent and their child.
