Call It Divine Justice, or Karma
When I started at UNC's The Daily Tar Heel about (mumble) years ago, one of the first friends I made was Clare. She was and is unremittingly gracious, thoughtful, funny, and wholly unwilling to recognize any of those facts. She is also one of the strongest people I know, having survived cancer at a very young age. I was honored to read verses at her wedding, and I crossed my fingers when I heard that she and Joe were going to try and have the child they always wanted, even though they didn't know whether her cancer treatments had left her able to conceive.
Today Shannon and I received some wonderful news.
Happy birthday, Cameron.
Clare would say that God was looking out for them, and I would agree. Good luck, Joe. You're gonna need it.
