Marveling at the vastness of the seas or oceans is a beautiful feeling that affects most people in the first years of life. It is always very interesting to see the reaction of our children when they meet the sea for the first time, but, although it may seem obvious sometimes, not everyone can be pampered by the waves of the sea from an early age.
We find interesting stories on the internet every day, but the one you are going to read is impossible not to melt your heart. We are talking about the story of Jonathan, a boy who suffers from a severe physical disability and who, never having the opportunity to take a bath in the sea in his whole life, managed to realize his great dream thanks to a gesture of great generosity from the part of two young tourists.
This captivating scene was filmed by someone present at the time at the seaside and posted on the web, quickly becoming viral. Jonathan’s father tried his best to get him into the water for his first experience at sea. Unfortunately, given the boy’s age and weight, this proved to be really difficult for one man.
The sea was quite rough and the waves were crashing chaotically on the shore, so keeping Jonathan on his feet became more and more difficult for his father. Of the tourists who had come to watch the scene, two of them were determined to help him: without thinking twice, they took the boy and took him to an area not far from the shore.
A dream come true
The father entrusted Jonathan with all hope to the two men, being visibly moved to watch his son’s wonderful reaction as the waves gently touched his feet.
Undoubtedly, these two strangers contributed to Jonathan’s first day at the beach, certainly completely different than expected, giving him small moments of happiness that will remain forever in his heart. Maybe the two tourists were spending their last day at the beach before returning to work, or they were just enjoying a few hours of well-deserved relaxation after a very stressful week. What is certain is that instead of having fun as they saw fit, they preferred to spend a few minutes of their time helping a person in need.

We are often advised to weigh our time well because it is considered one of the most precious goods we have. Undoubtedly, spending time in self-interest is of vital importance, but given the smile on Jonathan’s face, we can say without a doubt that the time spent helping someone in need is never wasted.
