My dearest Kavya,
These past seven-and-a-half years seem to have gone by like the blink of an eye.
You’ve gone from a newborn princess cradled in my arms to a small princess experiencing the joy and independence that life can bring.
I can still recall the moment I got the news of your birth. I was not by your side then, but I felt like the happiest father on earth. Your mother and I marveled at your red cheeks, wrinkled fingers, and your intense eyes.
Your birth gave me the experience of my lifetime…an experience that holds the most precious place in my heart.
