This Monday I took a day off work and Juan and I drove to Columbia Trail for a big bike ride.
The trail was beautiful, and we enjoyed the ride very much. We did the first 8 miles, so 16 total (26 km, approx.). We used to ride that and longer in Colorado, but it's been a while so we were exhausted when we got to the car.
I noticed that we still get the default reaction of a smile when people notice we are a father-son pair riding. The reaction was "bigger" when Juan was smaller, but it is still there.
Then it dawned on me: some day, and not that far into the future, there will still be smiles. But because they'll see a young man riding with his old father...
