“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.682Please respect copyright.PENANA4tf7DkESIH
682Please respect copyright.PENANAmksiFwInu5
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.682Please respect copyright.PENANAoIvjkyVh7e
682Please respect copyright.PENANAxz3mwNEkRb
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”682Please respect copyright.PENANA5ShqfiuIqO
682Please respect copyright.PENANAM5GuiWFV3j
Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.682Please respect copyright.PENANAH8NOOZLZHE
682Please respect copyright.PENANAQlCm512Lnb
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”682Please respect copyright.PENANAMfPo8hojrU
682Please respect copyright.PENANAkvs4WNkuUR
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”682Please respect copyright.PENANAwxV0vttIcw
682Please respect copyright.PENANAHgMZhSyy5A
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”682Please respect copyright.PENANAVN78knE9jE
682Please respect copyright.PENANAvgaiB0FxdX
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”682Please respect copyright.PENANAkM6G9tdTbw
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFyOwm9sLKk
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.682Please respect copyright.PENANAkzV547aye0
682Please respect copyright.PENANAgnQX8JYLjy
“Nothing is impossible.”682Please respect copyright.PENANA5VKCg6Zfa5
682Please respect copyright.PENANAmCjXNRBDU9
“But how?”682Please respect copyright.PENANAwYaCTx4GW2
682Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Nus5fCDj
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”682Please respect copyright.PENANAl5wi0EHS1i
682Please respect copyright.PENANAE8FpHN4J64
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”682Please respect copyright.PENANAawcPtLpk6X
682Please respect copyright.PENANAYbTB2KxghG
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”682Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qy6Ure11R
682Please respect copyright.PENANAoYCkfBJcdd
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.682Please respect copyright.PENANA2SMpAMgh7h
682Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ2sL8k0gs
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.682Please respect copyright.PENANAeSsLhEFqa5
682Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y620yLjIp
“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?”682Please respect copyright.PENANAlovAp7yQHp
682Please respect copyright.PENANATgpdGcpE9x
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”682Please respect copyright.PENANAXSvcEi0mYK
682Please respect copyright.PENANALrLw9HzxqL
“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?”682Please respect copyright.PENANAzOgbvNBbTL
682Please respect copyright.PENANABNfXjkrDEX
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”682Please respect copyright.PENANAQpqTKWSiYp
682Please respect copyright.PENANALewsemLfLr
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.”682Please respect copyright.PENANA0VK3C0SKiD
682Please respect copyright.PENANATctzpcYrVu
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.682Please respect copyright.PENANALZgBfPjw9T
682Please respect copyright.PENANAuurHROuuan
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?”682Please respect copyright.PENANAMGwqcaUr26
