“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahXGDZkEQz
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHcxxcP9jw
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuD0ycaTik

“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTVpyz1zYu

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXM2Ga3134
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yvzzEZYmD
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVX9ENP52q
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2xYJnNKXD
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6psaPlWkkh
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMVl1rXaBe
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKEkZ9lkbG
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQNFvXZdI6
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3KeoHhbOo
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6qTZyZMKb
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG5lGzCn6c
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcd4VPGRzB
“Nothing is impossible.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfhlFrLxME
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWrI0QgMZr
“But how?”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpym3hJbJqc
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKC8iyv3yZ
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KLf1HJ6ek
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpILpgcKIC
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pDgoEoDyi
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGuB9GCCas
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDUve8rc4T
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JZqLbQ3EZ
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul6PUom8PC
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoJsaAwjT6
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtXuLvAJS3

“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?”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tms9blI2h
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27c9E7LHEI
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf7Osp0Tc9
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjW0ce62pI
“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?”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8kT2Kqfs8
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkKm96r8Mm
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon2b4eXnCS
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBDQIX4ubf
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.”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc0zYMdKGr
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmGHRUID3F
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHWaOrwXKZ
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe7mOJGe6r
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?”464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EsyUKpIUA
