Saturday marks 2 weeks since MacGregor graduated. I am so very proud of him and the man he has become. I am so excited about what is ahead for him. For those of you that don’t know, he is headed to Clemson next year. If you know him- and our family of Gamecock and Crimson Tide fans- this will come as a MAJOR surprise. I think this cradle USC fan is as shocked with his own decision as any of us are, but as I have said all along- I don’t care where you go- just learn things, have fun (yes, I do think this is important), and don't do anything that could get you into trouble or hurt. I burst into tears when he met me at my car to tell me he had gotten in because I am so happy for him. Clemson is a perfect fit. I am so “All In” (Clemson speak) that I have even bought a few orange items- although I did dip my crimson toe into that orange water very slowly, starting with a green Ducks Unlimited shirt that had “Clemson” written in small letters on the pocket. I’ll get to full blown orange one day. Patience, young grasshopper.
If I am being really honest, despite outward appearances and the Smathers and Branson Clemson belt I ordered the day he got in, the tiger paw sticker for his truck, and the 2 orange gameday chairs I got him for his birthday, I am nowhere close to being ready to acknowledge this graduation and looming departure. I supposed the tardiness of this post speaks to that- Keep Calm and Carry On as they say….pretend it isn’t happening…... Another one leaving the nest.

My heart just can’t take it.

There has been a lot of leaving in my house over the past few years, and it is hitting me really hard with MacGregor. Maybe it is because he wouldn't let me have a graduation party for him or let me take senior photos so I didn’t get to accept it slowly over time with every passing milestone. Maybe it is because he has a summer start and officially leaves in 29 days instead of us getting a last summer at home with him before we take him with the masses in August. Maybe it is because we aren't getting our last family vacation because of that early start. Maybe it is because he has been working so much these last few months, sometimes rolling in at... (cont...)
