Dedicated to my special and much loved son Here you will see him grow up in pictures and find a few amusing stories.  And anything else I think you might enjoy.                                         Right around age 5, as most kids do, he decided to give himself a hair cut. Cut huge hunks out, I had no choice but to get out the clippers and buzz his head. He was all excited about getting a new do until I was all finished and he went to see himself in the mirror. He took one look and promptly burst into tears......he thought he was going to be bald forever!                       Tom had several jobs while in school. He did yard work for a lady to get his first car. A real fixer upper. It was buried in blackberry bushes! But he cleared out the bushes, And got the car out, painted it got it all running great and later sold it to buy a new one. He started out working at Burger King for a while And then switched over to Working at McDonald's. For the first few days at McD's He kept goofing up and Saying... " Welcome to Burger King, may I help you?" Silly kid.               Here he is all grown up. Still has those wonderful dimples too!  This is one of my favorite pictures of him.                                  He had this picture take as a special favor for me. Actually he keeps telling me that he hates this one.          And I just thought I would throw in a couple of extra pictures for you. The top one is of Tom's saltwater fish tank, one of his hobbies. Isn't it beautiful .. and this is real! The bottom one on the left is a picture of Tom with his sister, Leigh Ann. And, the one on the bottom to the right is Tom with 2 of his birds, Lilly and Maxine. Another of his loves. And here is Tom's pride and joy.....His two fantastic children. T.J. and Katie    ©2002
