“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSBt4MVvnO
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqdIqXdVjk
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIgmZr6JrR
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HA1KBCFJN
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q2PrDfhef

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGWhvc5tG3
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxChCBmohI
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGyWUIpZcl
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFcDApnzxP
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFq6hGzq6f
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bEplVGdfj
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwI7l5yYhK
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVZ0tjH78i
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTyMCzf73R
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtiYMl2hE2
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJuCMfwGZG
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnVzJ4sLJt
“Nothing is impossible.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSrAHITfmX
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlATo2Cp9n
“But how?”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsplXcj8LfR
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqHpVKGlF1
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQSWuXrd3j
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjEwpvzNqP
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoMMt0iD4C
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOA5L6rmt6
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYrjUZoPk9
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVKvqSikeY
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp9KOzCZ2d
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IBgQ3ufwW
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFMUriYx1J
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6lGqghXmX
“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?”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxcHcPC1fk
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJkgJ0AZrO
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wL9C7VsPc
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nsEMNF9W0
“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?”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq50gOCWmex
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMg1el08Vw
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIjTAkhi5F
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvetOMsFbcR
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.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL4jv0G9LG
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nxbbftMEl
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IDuh1koI7
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iA9ITJGOh
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?”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2I8EBKxX9
