My dear Grandma,
How can I ever thank you for all that you have done for me in the past two weeks? I
am so glad that you came to take care of me when I fell ill with jaundice and had to be
hospitalised. I do not know how I would have recovered without you.
I had been feeling extremely tired for the past few weeks, but did not think that there
was anything seriously amiss. The day I fell unconscious in school was a terrifying one for
Mother and Father. They admitted me to the hospital immediately, but they could not
take leave from their jobs for a long time. I am truly grateful to you for dropping
everything at a moment’s notice and rushing to Pune to be with me. The long hours you
spent at my bedside, the delicious soups that you fed me with your loving hands (I am
sorry that I could not do justice to them), and the way you kept cheering me up helped
me to recover quickly. I know that it must have been difficult for you to leave Grandpa,
the dogs and the farm for such a long time. I am thankful that you came, and I miss you
so much.
I am well now and am trying to catch up with the schoolwork that I missed. Do not
worry, I am not working too hard. Looking forward to the summer holidays when I can
visit you. Mummy and Daddy send their love too.
Yours affectionately,
Parth
