she came back.
She wanted to
meet the daughter
she gave away
and to ask for
your forgiveness.
I know you can't speak to me, but I
was hoping you might just listen.
You're just
in time for tea.
Thank you for talking to me, Ella Mae.
Breaking the ban, I mean.
Half the folks
in this community
think I'm as
senile as a loon anyway.
They'll think I forgot
there even was a ban.
Besides,
there are times
the human heart
needs more than the
old ways can give it.
My mam also talked to me.
She told me everything.
Thought she might.
came looking for me
she's dying.
She wanted to see me
while there's still time.
Then I guess you've
got a decision to make.
If I don't go now, Ella Mae,
out who I really am.
Who you really are?
That's a peculiar
thing to say.
What do you mean?
Well, I know who you are.
You're that
little girl who loved
picking flowers
of every color.
Squabbling with
her ornery brother.
Listening to her
mama's stories.
And always at
her father's feet.
Taking late-night buggy rides
with Daniel Fisher.
All of that, child.
That's who you are.
If you need to go
see Laura Mayfield,
then go.
Or if you just need
to discover the world,
then go.
And God be with you.
But don't go thinking you're
gonna find something out there
that you ain't
The miracle
ain't the life
you missed, Katie,
it's the life you've got.
Twenty years ago,
love brought you
to Hickory Hollow
and if you're gonna leave,
let it be that same love
that sends you off.
When are you leaving?
There's a bus out of
Lancaster later today.
You're going to see her then?
Yeah. I'm going to try.
But even if I don't,
I have questions I need
answered for myself out there.
If you do find her,
what will you say to her?
I'll say thank you.
Maybe she regrets
giving me away,
but I'm grateful
that she did.
Because she gave me to the best
parents a child could hope for.
She gave me
to my true family.
How will we know you're
all right out there?
I have money saved
up from housekeeping.
And I'll write you.
Katie, I'm so sorry
if we hurt you.
I'm sorry for
all the secrets.
Can you forgive me?
Mama, I already have.
No matter how far you go,
or how long you're gone,
And when you're ready to
come back, we'll be waiting.
I love you, Mama.
I love you, too, Katie-girl.
Never far away.
Never far away.
I suppose if I was
going away on a journey,
a little extra
cash might help.
Dat.
MAN ON PA:
Attention, passengersfor Buffalo, New York.
All passengers
for Buffalo, New York.
The bus will now
begin boarding.
Katie!
