Stephanie Chambers · Follow 7 min read · -- The Slow Drip I have been calling this feeling of loss a slow drip because for 8 months, starting on the day of our daughter’s senior year of High school and leading up to dropping her off at college, I have been crying gently (sometimes not so gently) everywhere. I have cried in the bathroom as I put on makeup, I have cried in her bathroom as I watched her put on makeup.

There aren’t many people at Tarleton State University who don’t know about the Purple Poo. It’s impossible not to hear or see (and sometimes smell) them as they make their way across Tarleton’s campus to attend university events, rowel up the crowd at a volleyball game or just attempt to make someone’s day better by giving them a poo sign. When looking at the long history of both Tarleton and the Purple Poo, I have only been around a short time.
