Dear Papa,
I was so overjoyed when I read your letter! I know now that all my letters have actually reached you. Please tell the Almighty a huge thanks after you read this letter. I showed it to Mamma and Di, and they got nostalgic. We remembered all the happy times we had together. We miss you so much Papa. We went back to Bhaiya's place in the Winter Break, and went for a movie. We loved it so much that we bragged to watch it again. We got out wish fulfilled later. We'd enjoyed so much, but one element that was missing, was you. We really missed how you got out of the car, to give directions to Bhaiya when he had to park his car in the lot, how you never allowed anyone to sit in the front, sitting there like it was YOUR throne!
Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I have captured your throne now, and I don't intend to give it up for anyone. Jokes apart, I was wearing your jacket, and Mamma said, it has your warmth in it. Actually, to be honest, it felt like you were still wearing the jacket. We didn't feel your warmth in your jacket. We felt you. And you felt so protective and loving in that jacket of yours. We saw Mamma smile for real, after she wore your jacket. She seemed so jolly, that it felt amazing to see her like that. There was this little satisfaction that shone inside me after seeing her that way, that you were still there for us, bringing along those few moments where we'd rejoice our lives thoroughly. I hope we get times like these pretty often... Okay Papa! I gotta go. I'm in the train back to Nagpur now. I'll write to you some days later... Miss me more Papa ;)
Yours Ever Lovingly,
Alu <3
