The man did not leave his elderly mother, as he remembered what she had to go through to raise him, because she raised her son alone. His mother had chances to marry again, but she chose her son, because she was afraid that a stranger would not become a good father for him.

But the moment came when the mother nevertheless became a burden for the son. The son and his wife began to pay attention that the mother often sits in the living room at night, holding a metal box in her hands. Sometimes a woman, with her presence, frightened those who got up at night out of need.

The man's wife began to hint to him that it might be better for her to be in the nursing home, because there are people of her age. For a long time, the son did not agree, but some events happened and he nevertheless decided to take this step.

The first thing that happened was that the woman, while trying to cook the food, almost started a fire. Second, when a woman was walking on the street, she got lost. They searched for her for a long time, but in the end she was brought home by one of the neighbors.

After that, the son talked to his mother and convinced her that the nursing home was a good place for her. The woman was silent on the proposal of her son, but asked for only one thing, to give her with her her metal box. The son and his wife wondered what she was hiding in the box. After waiting for the woman to fall asleep, they opened the box. Seeing what was in her, the man burst into tears.

In the box, which the woman so cherished, there were strands of hair and baby teeth of her son. This moved him so much that he stopped thinking about giving her to a nursing home. He canceled her departure and left her mother with him.
This is how it happens in life, we do not value those who we have, but then we realize that we were wrong. It's just that sometimes it's too late to change something.
