Japanese illustrator Kiyomaro (@sobomiyako98) presents a manga tale about her uncle. The elderly man slipped on some ice and his legs were paralyzed. But he wanted to visit his favorite place, Hawaii, again, and worked hard to regain enough mobility for the trip. When he got to Waikiki, he was approached by two surfer dudes. He was frightened at first, but the two guys asked the older man if he wanted to go for a swim. The encounter ended up changing the uncle's life.
The original is in Japanese, but you can get the entire story in English at Sora News. Bring a hankie. -via Metafilter
