“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhhUx5Ytv2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLfrcmJOy3
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClpIKf6mOQ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83rRRKvUcl
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BsZHbmrwY

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsoXmeDMjx
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7YxdzoJpg
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsrQUqwAlo
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAtHBfk6uv
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ8FfXQ7kS
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyiF2GFiYK
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx7niMgKV6
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfaEDMiiZz
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAgiYVRzlI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpyEv2B2o
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlCQnihlJA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocHBf1U8eI
“Nothing is impossible.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZqrbIE8CK
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8mLVQb2V2
“But how?”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAc0HbkMae
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ519CgUfAtt
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClJc6brkr5
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb8TsM2dRA
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXRnHeFwgM
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItNyKwfmym
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOS2fZYRV
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvMD5iKVSt
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi3O5PmzT8
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLtlomKfsX
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44EhYBJ1eA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0B9WAeJg6
“Wait! Thomas! I want to see...” Grace rushed up the stairway to the balcony. “Thomas, please,” she looked in all directions, “Morris, where is he?”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C4qoI6dRk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN6vuCQHPO
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT6Ii0Qv6K
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDJ2IAut2z
“Maybe he’s...” Grace hurried to the back of the balcony and the alcove where she first noticed Thomas. The scattered afternoon sunlight danced through the balcony as the moving clouds overhead broke apart. Grace turned and looked at Morris and plaintively asked, “What am I going to do?”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGmdExtQwb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxMDc5CJaN
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvT9g3laYg
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd0JCDi0nG
Grace turned and looked into the empty alcove. As she was about to leave, she stopped, bent over and picked something up from the floor. “Oh, my God,” she murmured. She turned and ran to Morris, “Look, Morris.”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdw8U9KpNf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbkiWBbEsE
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRddzflGJuB
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsK3IBh9Ij
Grace held a small bracelet of colored beads, “This belonged to my Sarah. I placed it in the casket with her.” She turned and looked back to the alcove, “My baby boy!” She turned to Morris, “Do you think what Thomas said is true? Will they come back to me?”381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyKWsMPyYa
