REMEMBRANCE

Margaret smiled in her direction, “And you gave me your friendship throughout all these years. Still, as I said before, Lady Bradley, you must not lose sight of the real reason you were able to send her back.”
“And I never did, Margaret. It was for my children. Whatever else came from their survival was a bonus. It has made everything that you and I have suffered over the last few years, as we planned and put together this once-in-a-lifetime chance to make everything right, seem worth it.”
“Oh Bertie,” Margaret said, with tears in her eyes.
“I want to thank you, Margaret, for staying by my side throughout and you will always hold a special place in my heart.”
Margaret placed her hand upon Bertie’s shoulder, as the sound of children’s voices filled the warm autumn air outside the window. They both turned towards the sound, a gentle smile on their lips.
“I shall finally rest in peace, knowing that the Bradley name shall continue through their children and their children’s children,” Bertie said, as tears began to fall freely.
“Then it is finished?” Margaret whispered.
“Yes, Margaret—finally—it is finished.”
The last thought they had was how happy the two young boys looked, as they played upon the freshly cut grass.
Then Lady Bradley and Mrs Webster’s ghostly images faded away.
