​First time writing in soooo long

First time writing in soooo long, please give me some feedback. It was just a short story.

I felt the cool wind in my hair while I was gazing at the gorgeous Swiss Alps. The snow covered mountains and the black rock was something that most people dreamed about, including me. Even though my back was aching after climbing and traveling to Zermatt to get this view, it was all worth the pain. As a child, I always remembered the textbooks with pictures of the great Swiss Alps or other amazing natural wonders of the world. I always thought to myself that I needed to see them with my own eyes. To actually experience the cold wind and fresh air of the Swiss Alps, and now I am here. A lot of times, though, I never thought I would actually make it here. It was that sense of doubt that made me question my dream of being able to see a mountain range like this with my own eyes. I heard some footsteps behind me, some leaves moving, and branches breaking. An old man appeared. He had a very well kept beard and long white hair. He didn’t even acknowledge me at first, just looked at the mountain range and exhaled. After taking in the gorgeous view, he sat next to me. After a while, he asked, “Isn’t it gorgeous?” His eyes were still stuck on the mountain range. He was an older man, but the look on his face was like he was revived. The enthusiasm and awe in his facial expression could speak to how badly this man wanted to see this mountain range. “It is, I can just sit here and stare at it for hours,” I replied, with a very soft, easy tone. We sat there for a minute, both just enjoying our quiet company and the view. After some time, he finally looked at me and asked, “How old are you?” I turned my head to look back and replied, “I am 24 years old, sir.” “Wow, what I would do to go back to those days. Last month, I turned 67 years old.” He paused for a moment, then continued, “Sometimes I never really thought I would ever be able to see this view.” The old man said, “What do you mean, sir?” I asked. “I don’t know, kid, sometimes life is hard, and when you are in those hard times, you kinda lose all hope, you know? You ask yourself if you will ever experience something like this or if it is even the right time to try. But when I saw the opportunity to go, I jumped. Sometimes that’s just what you need to do in life, kid, just jump for that opportunity because you really do not know if you will ever get it again.”
