“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.493Please respect copyright.PENANAQVyl3y6i5m

“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.493Please respect copyright.PENANA6vnJ7EZerJ

Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.493Please respect copyright.PENANAf0jTTAW2yC
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQWrN2Iy4zp
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”493Please respect copyright.PENANAS4jRKSYc0H
493Please respect copyright.PENANAh8916mIa41
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”493Please respect copyright.PENANAOltLbL4qau
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkEFOFAV3Sz
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”493Please respect copyright.PENANAGr9aILaGdR
493Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wv5HYHOcU
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”493Please respect copyright.PENANAZlI8UWrjVK
493Please respect copyright.PENANAeaq7GoMneo
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.493Please respect copyright.PENANA8IKhhGKNFI
493Please respect copyright.PENANA5G0arVexeV
“Nothing is impossible.”493Please respect copyright.PENANAZqsRAvzsII
493Please respect copyright.PENANAakMGeHg65b
“But how?”493Please respect copyright.PENANAHQTcjlK0UI
493Please respect copyright.PENANALbSF4wf7cp
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”493Please respect copyright.PENANAMbHPTMoyeI
493Please respect copyright.PENANA8XxusmKxtE
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”493Please respect copyright.PENANAkY5ZNUskHs
493Please respect copyright.PENANAfm8XEbbyqq
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”493Please respect copyright.PENANAHpTph4dtzb
493Please respect copyright.PENANAxACbpUHsIp
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.493Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lsf8FoJwJ
493Please respect copyright.PENANApHVfD8wsdQ
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.493Please respect copyright.PENANA3xa1txbssw

“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?”493Please respect copyright.PENANAjetaatbaWC
493Please respect copyright.PENANA7mhvtfelae
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”493Please respect copyright.PENANAd2Xa8w5h7v
493Please respect copyright.PENANA2w8ACtc0SO
“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?”493Please respect copyright.PENANAhQyVT8PXqW
493Please respect copyright.PENANAxrYwCZLGwB
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”493Please respect copyright.PENANA97dJzfQ6tm
493Please respect copyright.PENANAGDzyvyldyY
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.”493Please respect copyright.PENANAi7CrYKXVNx
493Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bm3QaHlm4
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.493Please respect copyright.PENANAhzGsataFsZ
493Please respect copyright.PENANAXT4m5qIPzA
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?”493Please respect copyright.PENANABpmFz5bY31
