When I was in my early twenties, I moved away from my home state of Wisconsin to attend graduate school. I chose to go to the University Of Arizona in Tucson and   36   there. Upon landing in early June, I was shocked by the lack of   37  and the burning desert heat. After less than two days in that  38 I called my parent to question whether I had made the  39  choice and to announce that I was   40  considering coming home. My father, in a calm and  41   voice, indicated that I always had a  42 . I could always come home and be welcome there. But in fact, we both   43  I wouldn’t come home at the time. Needless to say, I chose to   44 .

It  52 me, in a way, of the prodigal son(回头的浪子) who found  53 and love upon returning home. While we don’t have to be like him and hit bottom in life, it is good to know that we can wander and experience pains and  54 in life but we still have a home where love, support and comfort  55 .
