After many years of service in the military, a soldier was finally returning home. Having spent such a long time away from his family, he was now on his way back to the house he had left behind. Under a clear sky, he walked toward the home he hadn’t seen in years, his heart pounding with excitement and anticipation.
In the corner of the yard, his mother sat, her hands cold and her eyes filled with hope. So many years had passed since the last time she had seen her son, and each year that went by made his return seem further away.
When the door opened and he stepped inside, she stood frozen for a moment, unable to believe her eyes. For a few seconds, no one spoke. Her son, now a grown man, dressed in his military uniform, stood before her with a warm smile, but also an expression of restrained emotion.
The moment seemed to stretch out in silence. Then, with trembling hands, she rose from her seat, leaving everything behind, and embraced her son with all the love and joy that had been building up for so many years. She almost stumbled with emotion, but he caught her in his strong arms and reassured her with a gentle word.
