No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years . The mother , having    39     her daughter’s whereabouts , went to the poor part of the city in   40    of her daughter . She stopped at each of the rescue missions with a simple    41     . “Would you allow me to    42    this picture ?” It was a picture of the smiling , gray-haired mother with a handwritten    43     at the bottom : “I love you still…come home !”
One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal . She sat    44    listening to the service , all the while letting her    45    wander over to the bulletin board . There she saw the picture and thought , could that be my mother ?
She couldn’t    46    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 !”   47    she stood in front of the picture , she wept . It was too     48    to be true .
It was night , but she was so     49   by the message that she started walking home .   50     the time she arrived it was early in the morning . She was afraid and    51    her way timidly . As she knocked , the door    52     open on its own . She thought someone must have broken into the house . Concerned for her mother’s    53    , 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    54     someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently , “No, dear . From the day you left , that door has never been    55    .”
