“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywP1ITL9Nu
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSfeK5LhkK
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENTHjrvzzK

“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDADnm9a44

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Is0UDxzxH
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUEipMEOou
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyghq3gnG4
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsHbqntn2T
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtetkxAqCHR
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DfZjZOSfh
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMILW1NuNP
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDv4PgXEGG
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LMXayGqZL
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo8PYL8aEc
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzZeLN7Xl9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pBNSTnDcI
“Nothing is impossible.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX4CzADqXY
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT2yYUMp2p
“But how?”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVHvmu4BKk
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmm9j4nZbC
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGme94NBgGs
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBWXQK5uAQ
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRtc1biVH5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPkmLdJ4Z1
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJDLMgLQec
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WQo8wPREM
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXDsWXPLeN
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlpUkLfKNZ
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufzgZLweqg

“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?”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibdY39vfw9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj4hks3voL
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZqNR4thFH
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVyx735P5s
“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?”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNocbDOuvU4
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam1ltWbfRD
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZPT7IAEou
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5VI6y3vZS
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.”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fg8xNni44
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gr6jO9Xhg
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORqQKRXdFV
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vEAJtX9Qz
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?”457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7uvidyFZt
