Reporter Steve Hartman had an emotional Father's Day. He had to move his elderly father, George, out of the family's Toledo home. George built the house himself in 1955, so this place held a special place for the Hartman family.
With George relocating to a place in Atlanta, near Steve's brother, the family would be selling the family home.
"I prefer to stay, but you also have to realize that all good things come to an end," Dad told CBS.
As they prepared to sell it, Steve and his father went through their house, going through boxes and boxes of memories, in an attempt to downsize. They began to categorize items to make the moving process easier: items to be moved, keepsakes to be left with family, items to be sold or donated, and items to be thrown out.
Among the old boxes, they found a lock of hair in a transparent plastic bag. It was a lock of his mother's hair, taken before she died. Dad was brought to tears as memories began to flood back to him, noting that she never got gray hair — and this was proof of that.
Steve joked, "I would have taken your word for it!"
Other items included a Rosary and a handmade Valentine's Day card, which the elderly man refused to part with. See more from their emotional moving day in the video below.
