The best way to celebrate your birthday is by doing whatever makes you happy, and it’s not always about spending money on a lavish party.
A man in Florida, who is 93-years-old, decided to celebrate his 93rd birthday by swimming in the ocean for the first time.
Howard Fisher, the elderly man, has been living in the Sunshine State for 2 decades, but he never went to the beach and go for a swim.
But everything changed during his 93rd birthday when he decided to go to the Anna Maria Island, with the help of Sandra Fisher Van Nostrand, the daughter of Fisher.
Before the 93rd birthday of Howard, the elderly man reportedly told his daughter, “Sandra, isn’t it ironic? I have lived here 20 years and never once went in the ocean … now I think I might like to but I can’t.”
While talking with Fox News, Sandra said, “I guess he never went to the beach because he wasn’t motivated at the time! By the time he decided to go, he is now 93 – and needed my help.”
Sandra, who lives in Alabama, decided to visit his father for his 93rd birthday, so she could bring him for a swim, his first one.
Sandra took his father to the Anna Maria Island, which is located in the Gulf of Mexico.
The father and the daughter rented out a wheelchair so it would be easier for the 93rd man to travel to the beach.
After arriving at the beach, Howard decided to take a dip in the ocean for the first time.
Sandra then posted the amazing pictures of her and her father swimming in the ocean.
The pictures showed Howard having a big smile on his face.
Talking about the experience, Sandra said her father loves the ocean.
Sandra told CBS News, “He kept saying, ‘Isn’t this great! Look at the sky and the clouds and the water!’”
