    The story is about a mother who finds it difficult to let her son leave home. It is natural for children to want to start their own lives away from their parents, but for a mother to see her child leave and never return can be hard. The story seems to be about a mother dealing with her son leaving home, possibly to pursue further education or opportunities elsewhere. At the end, it is unclear whether the son does ultimately leave or stays, as the mother struggles with letting him go.
