Oh, boy!This is gonna be my first post after I disappeared for a while in order to make a memorable adventure for my parents and take a good care of them during their stay here.
Let me start with telling a story of how they saw an ocean for the first time in their lives.
It was raining when they came to Sanya,locals warned that the typhoon is coming,but we still were very eager for them to meet the ocean and feel the strength and beauty of it. My parents were looking carefully at every single thing we were walking by on the way to the sea side.They were amazed by how green the place is, by all the fluffy palm trees and happy Chinese people smiling at them.
When they finally stood before the ocean they became silent, they breathed in its smell and let it penetrate their system, then my mom started shaking her head saying: "Oh my god, how beautiful!" and my dad was not saying anything, he just stood still looking closely at the ocean enjoying every single movement of it.
It's fascinating how the ocean makes you feel so calm and happy, it's just water but it's not, it is more than that, so much more that it can never ever been described with any words possible but the emotions that it first kindly gives you forever and ever will stay in your heart ❤️
I'm so happy I could share it with people who devoted their lives to raise me, who gave me life and infinite happiness. Perhaps you realize all these things more when you have kids of your own, but I think we as kids have to do that much earlier, always cherish and try our best to make our parents happy, coz life is short and family after all is the most important and valuable thing we have!
My first ocean was in Sicily,Palermo, I was 26 at that time, my parents' first sea was in Hainan, they were almost 60 years old.
