About 20 years ago, my dad left our home country to work in a neighboring country to improve our financial situation. In the first year, we couldn't visit him due to the visa process taking a long time. However, during a summer vacation, we finally got the chance to travel as a family - my mother, my brothers, and I - to join him. The journey took about 6 to 7 hours to cross the border between the two countries, making it quite long. Despite the time and effort it took, I enjoyed the journey a lot because I had missed my dad for a whole year. Meeting him made me incredibly excited, and I couldn't help but cry tears of joy due to how much I had missed him. During our visit, my dad showed us around the country and we experienced the amazing weather there. One of the most memorable moments was seeing the ocean for the first time in my life. This journey is something that will stay with me forever.
