Madelyn

The day is drawing near when our first grandchild, Madelyn Ruth Dees will be born.  She is already our grandchild; we just have not seen her or held her yet.  So I thought I would write to her the first of what I hope to be many thoughts about her.

Madelyn,

Although I have never seen you, you are beautiful in my eyes.

Although I have never heard your voice, I listen for it.

Although I have never touched you, I feel your nearness.

Although we have never met, I love you.

Papa
