The author reflects on the bond with their great-grandfather, who promised to travel the world together when they turned 18. Despite his passing before they could fulfill this promise, the author chose to honor his memory by traveling to locations they had talked about, thereby reconnecting with childhood dreams. Each journey serves as a tribute to their great-grandfather, allowing the author to imagine his reactions while embracing the experiences he would have loved. The act of travel becomes a way to keep their connection alive.
I realized I didn't want to let go of the dream. If we couldn't see the world together, I decided to see it for both of us.
No matter where I go, I always take a moment to sit quietly, take in the view, and think of him.
