for the past 3 years, i’ve been taking my little friend Ryuta-kun surfing. he started at 4 years old and has gotten better and better. now he’s 7 years old and loves the ocean. we paddle out together and surf together. we started in the inside but now are going to the outside. he couldn’t swim before but now he can. he wasn’t smiling as much before because he was a little scared, but now he’s comfortable in the ocean. this kid is talented, a good singer, a good dancer, and a good kid. i miss him already.

if you’re a kid, you can’t fake a smile. look at Ryuta-kun’s face after we caught our first wave. he was so happy! and so was i.
