“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUfnV7v3on
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET1thKG3AH
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3y0iQVqUP
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF94MOC4rV
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxwZv9ElO
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuPeVnnxX3
Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHSe1cKycx
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HarmruIrX
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1SkXTfOnq
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5TkYQZgDz
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUZhCq9ka2
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM04GiNRmS
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hYM6XayLZ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmqxwl6jvr
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1sHLdw2VG
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8HuGLbReK
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0GI3meCyg
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXg9hyyraB
“Nothing is impossible.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Sl2ZpDLu
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7ieP6WVn0
“But how?”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nzo55QEYL
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiGJlpN4wH
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA0Bbw8M9f
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF9MOtsFBd
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYMjXlmAQt
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrNyBEeF4b
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVhGLeDVW7
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidnvrFkWtm
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9aHHEOQ48
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCl4xhZraJ
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJySNn4Naa
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhFmgJY6RE
“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?”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz12pHRdPjX
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdHCgxgRER
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SMnyZ6V12
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhwZikJGMi
“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?”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tt7iYzQYm
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I4d4RbECS
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8UpGiCKy8
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeuEy3yniI
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.”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq6ueukNTp
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47kuAd0p44
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mf7YyTYh5
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpNOd8hYZ4
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?”531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9SCKCg0bZ
