Toe Piet en Griet Geyer sewentig jaar gelede trou aan mekaar beloof het, was hulle bereid om die lewenspad enduit saam te stap. Hulle het sowaar meer as sewe sake sout saam opge\u00ebet. <\/p>\n
\u201cDis alles net die Here se genade. Ons het al so baie saam deurgemaak met ons kinders en families,\u201d s\u00ea Oom Piet. Op 95-jarige ouderdom geniet hy nog goeie gesondheid \u2013 dis net sy o\u00eb wat ingegee het. Tannie Griet het \u2019n heupvervanging gehad, en is op 92 ook ge sond. Sy kook selfs elke dag nog kos vir hulle twee in die oord waar hulle in Jeffreysbaai woon.<\/p>\n
Die romanse het begin toe Oom Piet kos-huisvader en onderwyser was op Mareetsane in die Noord-Wes. Tannie Griet was die posmeesteres op die dorpie, wat meestal \u2019n boere-gemeenskap is. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk het ouers gevra op hul plaas Jakkalsdans, en haar pa belowe om mooi na haar te kyk. En tot nou toe nog,\u201d s\u00ea hy met \u2019n sagte stem en kyk liefdevol na sy Grietjie.<\/p>\n
\u201cSjoe, ons het \u2019n groot onthaal gehad daar op die plaas, sowat 300 gaste. As ek weer my lewe moet oorh\u00ea, sal ek weer vir Piet Geyer kies,\u201d s\u00ea Tannie Griet ingenome. <\/p>\n
\u201cHy is \u2019n baie geduldige mens, so dierbaar en hardwerkend. Ek kry my Pieta so jammer dat hy nou nie meer kan sien nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oom Piet vertel:\u201d Sy is die ideale vrou vir \u2019n man, hardwerkend, fluks, vredeliewend, gelowig, en \u2019n ondersteunende lewensmaat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oom Piet was in die onderwys van 1947 en het in 1987 uitgetree, waarvan hy 34 jaar lank skoolhoof was. Die langste was as hoof van die Laerskool Innes op Uitenhage. Hy het \u2019n meestersgraad in die opvoedkunde behaal, en het na sy aftrede nog twee jaar klas gegee aan die destydse onderwyskollege in Gqeberha. <\/p>\n
Intussen was Tannie Griet betrokke by die weermag as die De Mist Kommando van Uitenhage se administratiewe beampte vir 23 jaar. Oom Piet het ook sommer in die tyd sy luitenantskursus gedoen. <\/p>\n
As Oom Piet nou \u2019n wenk vir skoolhoofde moet gee, is dit om nie \u2019n kind voor \u2019n ander kind te straf nie.<\/p>\n
En hoe maak mens om so lank so lief te bly vir mekaar? Die twee geliefde mense kyk na mekaar en s\u00ea byna uit een mond: \u2019n Christelike fondasie is nommer een, stem saam met mekaar, meelewendheid, geduld, getrouheid, ondersteuning en goeie menseverhoudinge.<\/p>\n
Uit die huwelik is drie seuns gebore: Daan, Casper en Pieter en hulle het agt kleinkinders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
