“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAImWDk8Ei
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3p6UHaQDU
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVTObrlXMY

“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyNltc9K9R

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOFZK8B9w2
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamapDwbB5
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh8hKoLUqW
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdKa6lqZyh
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHGgmGwKcK
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXMCDJOk12
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJNAWFgcd1
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIykVEp7NUZ
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRwRZm5Xzg
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrm4aGpUtY
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotCtFejDSn
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZCC4skDZ8
“Nothing is impossible.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktSSHXtLlz
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv3CN7yIfX
“But how?”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkPtniGTnm
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pl45hM3mS
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd1yQojDRz
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD8p6W5QAf
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh9se6S4pS
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rJKAHhDQ8
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSZN8BW8V1
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PMqPpArhr
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopJLBVNzzU
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn3qs1Vt3u
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wcFmsuw4V

“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?”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQzkuOgsA
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z7XrOqFVO
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4yF9EInn0
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH6BNptf4K
“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?”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lg2WK4yK4
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS7Bjwhkco
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RnF3SBsPU
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n2Rawl3GT
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.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeOZDBtI5A
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqtbvFHDaf
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcA7dr64UE
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTAbBMii7T
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?”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovJwdL5Dev
