Dear Dadi and Dada,
I hope this letter finds you both in the best of health and joy. As I sit down to write to you today, my heart is filled with warmth and gratitude for the beautiful gift you sent me for my birthday. Receiving it was a highlight of my day, and I wanted to take a moment to tell you just how much it means to me.
The hand-knit sweater, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, is not just a garment but a hug from you both that I can wear. Each stitch carries the warmth of your love, and wearing it makes me feel closer to you, especially on days when the distance between us feels too much. It’s like having a piece of home with me here in Chandigarh.
But more than the sweater, it’s the thought and the time you put into making it that truly touches my heart. I know how busy you both are, tending to the garden, managing the house, and still finding time for your endless hobbies. Yet, you took the time to create something so special just for me. It’s a reminder of your selflessness and the boundless love you have always shown me.
Your gift also reminds me of the many winter evenings we spent together, with Dadi telling stories by the fireplace and Dada teaching me how to play chess. Those moments are among my most cherished memories, and the sweater feels like a tangible connection to those times.
I want you to know that I will wear the sweater with pride, not just for its beauty but for the love it represents. It will be my companion through the winters, a symbol of your warmth and affection.
Thank you, Dadi and Dada, for this special gift and for all the love and lessons you have imparted to me over the years. You both mean the world to me, and I am endlessly grateful for your presence in my life.
I am counting the days until I can visit you again. Until then, please take care of yourselves and know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers.
With all my love and a tight hug,

Aditi
