“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxevN75ghq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz72XSlskx
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBA0au63uv
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbLDKkDcaa
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE9X9lhlaI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF6xSvJEZR
Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W0ldaTdab
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qhp9tUvKb
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bm4Px3Y5d
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo4Uu4fPfF
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8UHVybMy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXDHEMbLdt
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KCOa6fZWQ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDbMxXxQqS
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkAqBCeaVk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5EwhtbHzp
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGPiDZbi6d
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWrEQo0gS2
“Nothing is impossible.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKZeo1KVu7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqv9stRAQ4
“But how?”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLjDuSuRyH
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItWZo9hFRm
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVFmOjHLNo
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67CenIdSDJ
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT7HhvCXhn
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRf6njDQc5
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IntGtiwfF
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6BCckGj0q
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBgLR4imdj
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl2m2hSO3w
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36UOxV6P64
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBmSdtNff3
“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?”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOIFBmZhtX
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwsIPD6J2j
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLfDPIdUi3
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ45wPQiwI
“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?”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwJHZH2YTK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69Z7OUEFj
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJji2LwysoY
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUr1VgNFpR
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.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWzZqNfZuG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOM8JqZ9LX
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW1dfoHBG4
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgVIYl0QYP
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?”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwRVD0YBC4
