“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqOZKwZBuj
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawi63OsLeS
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySGpUOO6QG

“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogegSAC6Qs

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqtMwsmvFa
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG5J17R7Ja
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdTShbpZx1
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwtXO3gG7E
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1e5vKihqc
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nSgfi33tp
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLirIl0im2n
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0URTRTSmjU
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw2AnnOOp1
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFICK0u2Tg1
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLPlircKq6
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1cwYkbVWJ
“Nothing is impossible.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IQjs8Cmyh
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7jxwsTmnK
“But how?”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvlu5v0ZTM
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIU42Q28c9
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEywM5zodyy
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqakknhP89w
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2DmuVHQlj
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2khzJIal05
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h50zcbQC0
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v7k2QDyEV
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvpC4LlFoe
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWAfEubIBp
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bYwgsLuyO

“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?”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwu1QK72Nq
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdtU0GcLjq
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr88yb2pW2E
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5C8WPHpr2
“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?”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKyvq4zrXo
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4AXPIdfYn
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodlZhRnHcz
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA2whfvMbw
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.”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8scUH1yXL0
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqx5eqtOgG
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cyoZPoLAK
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxlDZi0ZSA
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?”514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWis6oNNrPh
