Little notes. Big love.

Dear Bella,

You taught me what unconditional means. The way your eyes follow me across a room makes me feel chosen, every single day.

— Aanya, Bangalore

Dear Scoopy,

You came into my life small and quiet, and somehow you rearranged the whole shape of it. Every bowl we make, we make for you.

— Rashi, Mohali

Dear Coco,

You wait at the door like the world begins when I come home. It does, my love. It really does.

— Vir, Delhi

Dear Momo,

You're the only one who thinks my singing is good. I love you for that, and a thousand other reasons.

— Saira, Mumbai

Dear Pixel,

You curl into the bend of my knee like I built this body just for you. Maybe I did.

— Arjun, Pune

Dear Latte,

You don't ask much. A walk. A scratch. Some warm food. And in return you give me a reason to be soft in a hard week.

— Mira, Chandigarh
