The narrator's return means the moment that she will have to leave the house in which she lived for so long and that she keeps so many memories. It makes her a little sad.
Explanation:
"My Old Home," features a narrator returning to his home town after living for 20 years in another city. The narrator's return is to finish the house move that his family will make. The narrator feels depressed when he returns to the house where he was born because she looks dull, unattractive, she no longer represents his home. He realizes that his mother is also sad and this is probably due to her attachment to the house in which she lived for so many years. The narrator's return to the house determines the moment when the change of house should, in fact, be made and this leaves his mother a little sad, because this house holds many precious memories for her.
