The Breakdown of Tom/My Son

With my oldest son away at college, I am relegated to following his activities by creeping following him on Facebook.

Two weeks ago, a photo was posted on his Wall that gave me hope that life was going good. He looked confident, powerful, and a tad-bit Tom Cruise-ish (when Tom was still cool and before he got all crazy and weird):


My confidence and peace of mind, though, was shot to heck, when another photo appeared just tonight. This must have been what Tom Cruise looked like AFTER he got all weird and jumped up and down on couches:


Sigh.

What's a mother to do, other than worry while her kids are away???

It's no wonder we get grey hair.

Peace.
