An aging eldest son loses his mother at eighty-five. His attachment to her ran unusually deep, and with her gone he tries, in a way all his own, to bring the missing mother back into his life. The thought that he has become an orphan startles him; he forces it down, but it rises again and breaks out as weeping. The story is a reminder that people are born children and die children, however old they grow.
