October 20 will always be Mother's birthday on my calendar even though it has been 9 years now since she left us. I took this photo two years ago when we visited hers and Daddy's graves, along with the many others of our family who were laid to rest here in the Bullard, Texas cemetery. The giant magnolia tree reminds me of Mother, who was indeed a steel magnolia, a true lady, a eautiful, strong, courageous woman with deep roots who deserved the name long before anyone thought of making a movie! She would have laughed at my calling her that. That is one of the things I miss the most - laughing with her. Remembering! Opal Auntionette Terrell Teal October 20, 1913 - September 21, 2006.
