“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07P34DpS7M

“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4erjTBaE

“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrneUNDQSc

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4pdUVaM59
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bKlUsEMyO
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBJgMpzB5A
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExb29gXhl0
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp7zYACK5t
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpmi57oQ1
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p0H731SfR
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOHSitYHrp
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uBIuMw2y5
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA0YK7XPy2
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hTXPQGqGs
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvEPzgBm8P
“Nothing is impossible.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPLDPKGIX7
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tsgv7jRiY
“But how?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9aZdEOKga
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQbSbbMt2F
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOItbehyZk
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb5NkPWB9l
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtorazGQ75
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTaeR5pdXq
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTReJJzROy8
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SGsTyENFL
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw2OCD3QoX
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JxjVeid69
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJBCXfbIyV

“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?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI8Ux543PF
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELXI1TwAOB
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqidNCHuOUK
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKLZ3XQ21O
“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?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY5cFPggNj
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB6UZ8blj7
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD52sxl1XD
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0PTAdYmXI
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.”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuG49dnmT3
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CVajmdtFY
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ4aiLnEsT
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m5wlYBaSs
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?”530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjkywQM08l
