No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having    19    her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the poor part of the city in  20    of her daughter. She stopped at each of the rescue missions with a simple    21    . “Would you allow me to    22    this picture ?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten   23     at the bottom: “I love you still…come home!”

One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat    24     listening to the service, all the while letting her    25   wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?

She couldn’t    26  until the service was over. She stood and went to look .It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still…come home!”   27   she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too    28   to be true.

It was night, but she was so    29  by the message that she started walking home.  30     the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and   31     her way timidly. As she knocked, the door    32 open on its own. She thought someone must have broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s    33  , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me! It’s me! I’m home!”

The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s arms. The daughter said, “I was so worried and    34   someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been    35    .”
