My dearest Anii / Majhi ladki leki,

It has been seven years, but I want you to know that I have never really left your side. I am watching over you all the time, in every step you take and every milestone you reach.

I see how you look at your brother now, how he has stepped up to care for you and protect you with so much love. It gives my soul immense peace to see him watching over my little girl, just the way I would have. He makes me so proud.

Please don't be sad that I am no longer sitting right there next to you. Instead, I want you to smile. Smile because we had each other, and because of all the precious, beautiful time we spent together. Those memories are alive, and they are yours to keep forever.

Honestly, I miss seeing that carefree, naughty little girl who used to light up my entire world. I loved that version of you so much. Stop letting sadness dim your spark, my child.

Do me one small favor today? Let go of the tears, and go eat some warm, sweet Puran Poli. Enjoy every single bite of it, and know that I am right there, sharing that moment of joy with you.

Keep smiling for me.

With all my love,

forever,

Baba
