“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp3R7gJz6E
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLgk3YgTC2
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUWCEvBoUF
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡworlztfCYB
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgXMqvPY63
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9H7oOjIE2
Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vZpQhxarg
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEEpTwb8GO
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmI6ufFI6w
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov6uoUfDW7
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQt839axqE
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyDJGKqDfM
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4nRF4mz3E
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIihbk6srb
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX959xAL0JJ
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ4BuCPmJf
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85TZOVPULe
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LskWHS1H6
“Nothing is impossible.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQbYQWSXUM
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Mmt7En8g
“But how?”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmVQMlrY49
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbFYzZqWSP
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymvZRzg6GO
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lyYh5BoZh
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdu317kLOM
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn0MsjUi3A
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4CIDNLPAL
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMxjOvvD1I
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyVAfI4LJE
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWOI6v0DrC
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV63RDj1vmX

“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?”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ex12oxGz
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBncInKY3ME
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b1awCpuHl
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ew4lu6CK
“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?”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGeE8Zcczh
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2fKiEGIu6
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXxzH0x5hT
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TZWg5wxce
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.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY7Cory446
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmeIDtKSfl
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNVamdzOyU
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc16dUVuoa
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?”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvxtg76B9o
