I Don't Post Much (Twice in 6 years).....

but wanted to pass this along.
As I was checking the mail a few minutes ago, I saw the neighbor's son doing the same. I notice that he has his head in his hands, and all of the mail was on the ground, except for a single letter he held. I notice he's crying, and in that awkward moment, wasn't real sure if I needed to ask what was wrong, or simply leave him to himself.
I chose to inquire as to what was wrong, and immediately after approaching him see the letter's return address was from Clemson University. He then looks up with tears down his cheeks....and a smile a wide on his face, and simply says..."I'm going to Clemson!".
Wow. Amazing moment. Congrats to all future Tigers!

I pretended to care deeply about putting groceries away as I wanted to jump out of my skin!
My wife (also a CU grad) couldn't stand it and almost tackled him. He tried to be cool about it...but HE'S IN!!!

Each post of yours apparently turns to gold.
Everyone should do themselves a favor and read his only other post, "A Fond Farewell...".
http://www.tigernet2.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=229#229
That should be on a brochure for prospective students!
Once again, great story and excellent post!
