One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is currently in Texas with the boyband and his mother, Johannah Deakin, recently shared a photograph of him as a child and confessed that she misses him while he's away. 

She uploaded the snapshot of the 'Story Of My Life' sensation to her Twitter page much earlier today (September 19) and explained that she's happy he's on the group's Where We Are tour, but she feels emotional when he's far away from her:

"Missing my Louis! #firsteversportsday xx"

Earlier this week, she told her followers that she is really excited about One Direction's upcoming new music, tweeting that the lads' new single is great and she can't wait for things to move along: "I'm getting excited about the new single!! Xxx"

Last month, meanwhile, Tomlinson admitted that he wears less make-up now than he did when One Direction first appeared on the scene and feels more comfortable: "I would say it's less of a routine for me. I wore a lot more makeup at the start, but I don't really bother now."
