Recently while Claire was at Duke recovering from her liver surgery, I went to my sister's apartment for a few hours just to get out of the hospital and take a break/nap. I sat outside on her patio and noticed a beautiful magnolia tree at the corner of her patio. I starting thinking about how I loved magnolia trees (my mom used to say it's because I didn't have to rake up all of their leaves!). And then I started thinking of how Claire is the exact definition of a Steel Magnolia. This child is beautiful in every way, yet she is the most strong and determined person I know. I hope she continues to stay that way for the next 100 years!
