It’s a time of great change for most 13-year-olds, but for one family in the city of Mumbai, it’s a time of great joy. The Kulkarni family has been married for over 20 years and has two children. But on July 26th, 2013, their 13-year-old son will become an adult and be able to break away from his family. This is a moment that many parents dread, but for the Kulkarnis it is an exciting one. They know that their son will now have to fend for himself and make his own decisions. But they are also grateful to have been able to keep their relationship strong through thick and thin. This is a special day not just for the Kulkarnis, but also for all parents who are planning to break away from their families at 13 years old. It’s an important milestone in life that should be celebrated with joy and love.
