“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu7S6CT8Zo
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzlSjWNQzv
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Hiof4tcV
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5MEC2Hwr1
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCvKQVYiFF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZATBvrd2Y
Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJvnZIhJTm
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zij4uADMT
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk53SaqxOZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXafFvQDHJ
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca4RR1VMUt
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgFLadCxxj
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezPeRj8jtR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP2wuwewYd
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlcbfjFFGb
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsi28v5Cy3
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM16qv7FFd
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhggUVvJmC
“Nothing is impossible.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAy6sSiw0H
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBrXATJ7Ph
“But how?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9goYIic37K
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsxFmkFmVB
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaLyeX3Jum
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcONpkT3Qt
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14sHa00EPa
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbIf0m7H3Z
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8bWgVXUsN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVCCkssz6W
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe73rFBilv
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fMA74EHex
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT5o1HQlFY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIB6giifJb
“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?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7c0opD4AB
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EaflUiXQG
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ds4AkyUk
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTM1WDdcXR
“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?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOk5zwllrW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jvGZ5w8O9
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1soOK6GLDY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCSARYOxQL
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.”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBEgLbLVVm
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMoeYejDJW
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BkbUKwrlA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCyRl4W8S3
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?”435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PAMoylnjn
