This episode is dedicated to him. - Special thanks to Anton, Eric's friend, for stepping in as the new creative collaborator. **Main Story - "The Passage of Time"**: - Darius Van Damier and his wife Eileen move to a picturesque location overlooking the coastline. - Their home becomes a hub for family gatherings, with their six children and growing number of grandchildren frequently visiting. - The couple's life is marked by joy, tears, and shared memories. They become confidants for their adult children, offering wisdom and understanding. - As the years go by, visits from family become less frequent. The grandchildren grow up, and some start families of their own. - Despite the changing seasons and the passage of time, the view of the coast remains constant. - The story concludes with a poignant scene: Darius and Eileen's graves, side by side. Their once frequently visited resting place now stands eroded and forgotten, much like the memories of their time on earth. Thank you for joining us on this emotional journey. Stay tuned for more tales and yarns in upcoming episodes.
