Bucket lists are an excellent method to test our bravery. It reminds us of our tiny and huge aspirations and keeps us motivated to see more of the globe. Because of its vastness and mystery, the ocean has been associated with a variety of metaphorical connotations, including power, strength, life, tranquility, mystery, turmoil, limitlessness, and stability!

Despite being nature’s most powerful force, the ocean manages to provide us with serenity and quiet. This is presumably why so many people like coming to the beach. Unlike those of us who can easily visit the coast at any time, there are others, particularly those who reside in interior states hundreds of miles from the closest ocean, who have never been on a beach vacation. This 85-year-old guy known as Papa Bear is one of those who has yet to see the ocean.

As a gift to Papa Bear, his future son-in-law drove him and his family to the seashore for the first time in his life. Papa Bear leaned down and took a sip of the ocean water. Despite his struggles, his comrades held him back to ensure his safety. All Papa Bear could do was a shout, “Wow!” “OK, this is extremely wonderful!” he said. It’s more than I could have imagined.” For others, Papa Bear’s ambition of traveling to the ocean may seem foolish or superficial, but for him, it is a dream come true and an experience he will never forget.
