“You have suffered two grievous losses in the past. Is that not true?” Thomas’s voice was almost a whisper.287Please respect copyright.PENANAsjPIhH4EpX
287Please respect copyright.PENANAWkqJW1bpkb
“Yes, I have, but…” she was unable to finish.287Please respect copyright.PENANAVogcjjeJdl
287Please respect copyright.PENANAt6kwAHJwFg
“A little girl in an auto accident. And the miscarriage of a little boy not too long ago.”287Please respect copyright.PENANA5zYERv6nAm
287Please respect copyright.PENANAt16ncwVyYx
Grace sat down on the stairs as Thomas’ caring voice overwhelmed her. He waited for her to answer.287Please respect copyright.PENANAbgIYiS8GV9
287Please respect copyright.PENANAaAqH9Xvtem
“Yes … it’s true … but they died and I buried them.”287Please respect copyright.PENANABLOWa5KnRC
287Please respect copyright.PENANApYGtt9eOc2
“They did not die, Grace. No one ever dies. I have been looking after them since those fateful days.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAqjXC2goSLK
287Please respect copyright.PENANAlboLErdgRL
“I don’t understand. Thomas? What are you trying to tell me?”287Please respect copyright.PENANAlrhg7Svpze
287Please respect copyright.PENANAESHC2JA0ba
“I’ve been waiting for you, Grace, to tell you that they wish to return to you.”287Please respect copyright.PENANATx1V75ePwh
287Please respect copyright.PENANAHQBOwqSLSn
“But that’s impossible,” Grace replied as tears welled in her eyes.287Please respect copyright.PENANAuB0ht52tXO
287Please respect copyright.PENANARtv01FUMDk
“Nothing is impossible.”287Please respect copyright.PENANABQJz2dmEqX
287Please respect copyright.PENANABMDIwiSJsz
“But how?”287Please respect copyright.PENANA9bZYA0HYrn
287Please respect copyright.PENANAda9BghonSw
“You have separated from your husband, the father of these children. Is that correct?”287Please respect copyright.PENANAEDljuIRs7Z
287Please respect copyright.PENANAwWBFYJzKuF
“Yes, it is. The loss was more than Charlie could bear. He was so unhappy, I let him go.”287Please respect copyright.PENANA57ihVE2Nqn
287Please respect copyright.PENANAa4CEg1p5nR
“He is not doing well. You need to find him.”287Please respect copyright.PENANADz7le5L8G0
287Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ1ID6iifr
“I don’t know where he is.” Her tears overflowed their banks and cascaded down her cheeks.287Please respect copyright.PENANAVdK9pT3DPf
287Please respect copyright.PENANAX538qqAsNx
“Not now, Grace. Tears will not help. Be strong and vigilant.” Thomas moved away from the railing.287Please respect copyright.PENANAuZPdcTaoUc
287Please respect copyright.PENANAq6dIVJC8us
“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?”287Please respect copyright.PENANA9q9nXgEF7G
287Please respect copyright.PENANAu78GggPcB9
Morris joined her at the head of the stairway, “I’m afraid he’s gone, my dear.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAsUHzU6OcQs
287Please respect copyright.PENANAcW5c9mzua9
“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?”287Please respect copyright.PENANAotaR6onakr
287Please respect copyright.PENANAtSCAp5enYW
“I believe Thomas gave you the answer, my dear. Be strong and vigilant.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAjkcbgs9gRk
287Please respect copyright.PENANAfJjkCF7KWx
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.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAz1vRlBMvsd
287Please respect copyright.PENANAbSGvY011p0
“What is it, my dear?” Morris was pleased to see the joy on Grace’s face.287Please respect copyright.PENANAGIoyc20Fh0
287Please respect copyright.PENANA8CG8MI6L6w
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?”287Please respect copyright.PENANA2B9IC0Xj54
