This is almost too much to handle…

We’ve seen our fair share of viral videos starring elderly people but this clip from the US melted our hearts.

Meet Ruby Holt, the 100-year-old who has just ticked off one very unlikely item that remained on her bucket list.

Ruby spent the majority of her life on a farm in rural Tennessee, picking cotton and raising four children and until this week, had never ever seen the ocean in person.

The adorable lady, who will celebrate here 101th birthday next month,  saw the ocean for the first time thanks to her assisted living centre and a group that grants wishes to the elderly.

We. Cannot. Cope.
