As everyone was busy bidding farewell to Lakshmi, Fatso opened the letter she had written for him. He could feel his heart racing as he read the words she had expressed for him.

Dear Fatso,

I cannot believe I am writing this letter to you, saying goodbye. The thought of not waking up to your warm smile and hearing your comforting songs and goodnight wishes every day is a pain I cannot bear. I have had so many people ask me what it is about you that makes me so madly in love with you.

You stand as my guard when my guard is down,

You pick me up when my hope lets me down!

You give me a reason to cheer when life gives me one to frown,

If not for you, who else could be my own :)

I know tomorrow will bring many changes as I start a new chapter in my life, but the thought of not being able to see your bright smile every day breaks my heart. I wish I didn't have to leave your home, but I know this is a necessary step in growing up.

I will never forget all the memories we have made together, the laughter, the tears, and all the love you have shown me. I promise to visit often and keep you updated on my life, and to pass on your wisdom and love to my own children one day.

Thank you for everything, Fatso. You have been my shining light and I will miss you dearly. Your place in my heart will always be special, and I will treasure the memories we have created forever.

With lots of love,
Lakshmi

Fatso's eyes filled with tears, he could feel the love and gratitude radiating from the letter, and it brought back memories of all the happy times they had shared. He hugged the letter to his chest, realizing that his baby girl was all grown up, but also knowing that no matter what, she would always be his little girl, as he read the words his daughter had written.
