To my dearest Astro,
Words cannot express how deeply I love and miss you both. Every day, my heart aches because I can’t be there to witness your beautiful growth and all the little things that make you both so special.
I yearn to see your infectious laughter, your adorable moments of anger, and your mischievous adventures. My love for you knows no bounds, and it’s a love that fills every corner of my heart.
I hold onto the hope that one day soon, we’ll be in the same room again, playing, talking, and making cherished memories together. Until then, please remember that you are always in my thoughts and forever in my heart.
With all my love,
Dad

Tu apni khubiyaan dhoond,
Khaamiyaan nikaalne keliye log hai na.
Agar rakhna hai qadam toh aage rakh,
Peeche khenchne keliye log hai na.
Sapne dekhne hain toh unche dekh,
Neecha dikhane keliye log hai na.
Apne liye junoon ki chingaari bharka,
Jalne keliye log hai na.
Pyar karna hai toh khudse kar,
Dushmani karne keliye log hai na.
Agar banani hai toh yaadein bana,
Baatein banane keliye log hai na.
