Stars and the people you love.

Hi princess,

It has been a long long time since I wrote to you. Honestly, I just got lazy.  But, this letter is very special, because it has been co-written with a very special person. Say hello to Shubhaa didi. She will have loads to tell you about me when you grow up. :p .  Today's post is about the people you loved and lost. Or maybe, they got away. It came up as a result of a conversation we were having. Hope you enjoy reading this.

Maybe you have studied in your Physics class about Einstein and his special theory of relativity. It basically says that light takes time to travel from one point to another. So, the farther we go into space, we are seeing further into the past. Stars are very very far away from us. So, we are seeing stars as they were millions of years ago.

The people we loved are like stars. Distant in time and space, but still shining upon us faintly and twinkling in the back of our minds. And we cannot deny or regret our love for them, just like we cannot deny that stars exist. 

Every once in a while, we get intimidated by stars and they overwhelm us. We feel insignificant in front of them. They will forever have a little corner of our heart, staying quietly in a little corner of the sky.  But, the universe always provides us with a guiding light. 

There will always be people, with whom you can be unapologetically yourself and count on them to shine happily over you, regardless of time, space and the universe.

Yours lovingly,
Dad

P.S - Always shining on you, wherever you are, whatever you are.
