Life passes us by, but the clock keeps marching on...


"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
