“I created a Diwali story for my mother-in-law who couldn't travel this year. When she opened it during our video call and saw 40+ messages from cousins, aunts, and grandchildren sharing their favorite memories with her, she cried happy tears. She said it was the most beautiful Diwali gift she'd ever received. Now she reads it every morning with her chai.”
