“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cptCHoE7y

“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJazYMbZICq

“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeuvbZ2dNT

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVsAtKC8pd
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYKOem2P2L
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOqZP0KRzH
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe1iPx1IwG
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xRDL5S3gR
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjThIUOhjy
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZidSE8M6Ax
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckhgwV7a4k
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX1Y22Pnfi
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX3KgIYNzU
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD0vmrGTyl
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVwurN97RP
“Nothing is impossible.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsWDEu2xIv
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2CB7pVlLT
“But how?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpakZpzBFIg
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5d388YXJP
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9dUGGaOhu
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXXxAn9UVV
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRvLwnTVyh
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilzgWqKgwD
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe1eWq7QKw
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ioUUF5Lw
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9r5Fxh6ra
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCyoWAsXbA
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLlNtHmxzf

“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?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCJ7gIanED
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPfxQvYQZO
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKnHE6VxA7
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgmxyj2ywk
“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?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfswVCLBwkC
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujf6Mv45X3
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMgUD0B3Ae
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfEObGxP1g
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.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qX7jfYK5b
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuuY8lrM9G
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GuI7e7kX9
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrkG8bliDf
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?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4bfZOXg0G
