After her surprise visit, the NBC News talk show said that she thanked her coworkers for their love and support and for \u201ccaring about my mom as much as I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was apparently kidnapped in Tucson, Arizona, on the weekend of January 31, the long-time co-anchor of Today has not been on the air.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Guthrie, who is 84 and has a heart condition, has not been seen or heard from since. Right now, the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the FBI haven\u2019t made any serious leads public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted you to know that I\u2019m still standing, and I still have hope, and I\u2019m still me. I don\u2019t know what version of me that will be, but it will be,\u201d Guthrie told the Today team during her visit.<\/p>\n<p>It was unclear whether Guthrie would return to work on Today, but during her visit, she said she does plan to return, although she isn\u2019t sure how it will all work out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have every intention of coming back. I don\u2019t know how to come back, but I don\u2019t know how not to. You\u2019re my family, and I would like to try,\u201d Guthrie told the team, per Today.<\/p>\n<p>Guthrie\u2019s return to the show has not yet been set. Hoda Kotb and Sheinelle Jones, both of whom went to school with Guthrie, have mostly taken her place today, along with her co-anchor Craig Melvin.<\/p>\n<p>It was revealed during Savannah Guthrie\u2019s visit that meteorologist Dylan Dreyer led the team in a prayer in which they said, \u201cWe\u2019re here holding hands as a family in a place where we don\u2019t understand why this is happening.\u201d Every day, it\u2019s not too much to ask God for the biggest miracles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt felt like the right moment for all of us,\u201d Dreyer said on Friday\u2019s show to leading the prayer. \u201cWhen I feel helpless, I pray\u2026 We asked for that miracle.\u201d Dreyer also said it was their \u201cgift\u201d to give Guthrie the love and support in that moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we needed to see her as much as she needed to see us,\u201d co-anchor Al Roker added of the reunion that fellow anchor Carson Daly noted wasn\u2019t planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Today\u201d show has more information about Savannah Guthrie\u2019s return after she visited the set on Thursday and made an emotional appearance off-camera.
