Madeleine Astor Prelude

 Madeleine Astor Prelude by ric gustafson


Dear Jakey,

I wanted to tell you about your father. I gave you his name. I was thirteen the first time I saw him. I was a school girl enjoying Bailey's Beach. I saw him there with his mother. 
Colonel John Jacob Astor was an inventor and a war hero. Then he smiled at me from a distance. And then he was gone.
I wondered when I would see him again.

Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
