“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.712Please respect copyright.PENANAv6eJS1KE96
712Please respect copyright.PENANAf1nccMflZm
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.712Please respect copyright.PENANAIgKBKn9EUA
712Please respect copyright.PENANAhQZ5evqDKs
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”712Please respect copyright.PENANA5T01VhJrMh
712Please respect copyright.PENANATHdxbsQ6yv
Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.712Please respect copyright.PENANABSu4EnVIYj
712Please respect copyright.PENANAoSnU16BoFe
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”712Please respect copyright.PENANAddlldWQhmp
712Please respect copyright.PENANA9fOiSjnOGe
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”712Please respect copyright.PENANALTttN57ZVi
712Please respect copyright.PENANA6IUbyL1BYd
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”712Please respect copyright.PENANAL3jeNCSCAz
712Please respect copyright.PENANAnkZ0SQcQrv
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”712Please respect copyright.PENANA8EQEpHFABB
712Please respect copyright.PENANAGGaBh4jyD0
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.712Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lehbnt8AO
712Please respect copyright.PENANAlx06YAoCOk
“Nothing is impossible.”712Please respect copyright.PENANAiI17sqW53U
712Please respect copyright.PENANARQnayD8DTZ
“But how?”712Please respect copyright.PENANAkkk3dakUeI
712Please respect copyright.PENANA81ySIvhTvr
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”712Please respect copyright.PENANA3x6ZwpcFBY
712Please respect copyright.PENANACqHgLCtppZ
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”712Please respect copyright.PENANAP18lBTsxNU
712Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7UD3M95B9
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”712Please respect copyright.PENANA3aPF3LHGBl
712Please respect copyright.PENANAZL3T5TE8vL
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.712Please respect copyright.PENANAzGlj0tJCBv
712Please respect copyright.PENANA8LcNMtop32
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.712Please respect copyright.PENANAm8OCrJkwOL
712Please respect copyright.PENANASvMxQ7DTpb
“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?”712Please respect copyright.PENANA0bq5UhDHpd
712Please respect copyright.PENANAQ43Rz3c9RB
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”712Please respect copyright.PENANAHy6I2dQZjf
712Please respect copyright.PENANAhZvOidkcnq
“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?”712Please respect copyright.PENANAWE9PqhfwRh
712Please respect copyright.PENANAg2WOhWhWkl
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”712Please respect copyright.PENANA76RJbysIQV
712Please respect copyright.PENANA2evOPXqQk8
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.”712Please respect copyright.PENANA1enOLvd8wU
712Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ns8yUrqLH
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.712Please respect copyright.PENANAYIdyW0mC4z
712Please respect copyright.PENANAMOKu3QQHRh
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?”712Please respect copyright.PENANAYVipgXKC98
