“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre1I9njf4x

“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvLMBoyFJS

“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsgKq52wmJ

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANdWBLQCwa
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBSE0xYETX
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm3idvCl5l
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKSDQqT6TO
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbUuuVALXD
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GzWlqebbQ
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvIKQTuXT9
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w3yMSfQ4Q
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r4dpttPcG
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ99DRp6rJ
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv45RWk4Qjv
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J6xpA9NEB
“Nothing is impossible.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivR9bhAhaq
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgnkP0XMS
“But how?”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSziZh42QA
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2jX4vkL3T
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEIcBGQvMq
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWhC5Xl7W3
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFDRen3RQv
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFBKE1W051
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5X0yOTr9r
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pvdu4FbQV
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6XbDdCb3u
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hG64DuDf6
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4sngvfa1R

“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?”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m5j7zx0AS
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcp8iLFjl4
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aKmq2265A
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx7HXwgxzN
“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?”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcCTYXEDys
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEyv0Wml3z
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMEl7koKl4
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvih2hVtjrG
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.”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6KWPFEEs1
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7td0uGon0
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwUIpKzt1x
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWaPqrBBI4
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?”476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccAOEuwJx8
