"The Clock" photo by Austin Brant de Boer
In 1963, the clock placed on the wall at 'Efterom 5, Langweer, Friesland, NL' was keeping time...
1963 - my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary
...since that time, loved one have passed:
- Grandma Jetske van der Horst on April 9, 1973 @ 82 years of age
- Grandpa Brant de Boer on November 17, 1974 @ 89 years of age
- My father, Gerrit de Boer on August 17, 2010 @ 90 years of age
and
- Uncle Sipke Brant de Boer on November 12, 2010 @ 94 years of age
...yet '47 years later' that same clock still hangs in that same place, keeping time, while our loved ones are passing...
2010 - Kees, Austin, and I
First thought to come to mind....the song "Grandfather's Clock". Another great post, Uncle Syd!
