“I had to clear them away. The traffic has been nonstop. You’re not the only one seeking an audience with Thomas. He’s turned into quite a popular fellow,” Morris laughed as they mounted the stairs.553Please respect copyright.PENANAKHz0dwdCsN

The sunlight from the skylight intensified, filling the room with a brilliant light as Thomas faded from their view and they heard the faint flutter of wings.553Please respect copyright.PENANAp3QQ6eKCkR

“Yes, and it’s a very simple explanation. When adults such as yourself pass away from this plane of existence it may take eight hundred to a thousand years to absorb all of the experiences gathered during a lifetime before the soul is ready to be reborn again. For a child such as your Sarah and your son, there was no such accumulation to be dealt with. Their souls are pure and they were ready to return. You must have greatly impressed them with your love to have them waiting to come back to you. It’s very unusual.”553Please respect copyright.PENANAeiZSKBfxcq
