To my dear family, writing this feels surreal but I have to get it off my chest. Over the past few months, there's been a whirlwind of changes (physical and emotional) that's been really hard to process. It's like I'm on a ticking clock and can't ignore it anymore. I've tried to stay upbeat but reality hits hard sometimes.

Life never gives you a manual for these moments. Career achievements were always at the top of my list but somehow they've drifted into the background now. What matters is time with all of you. There's so much I haven't done yet and it's frustrating feeling like time is slipping through my fingers;

Mortality makes you think about what truly matters: the connections, the simple things that bring peace. I've spent countless nights wrestling with thoughts about unfinished goals and regrets over missed opportunities to say 'I love you' more often.

I hope this letter opens up conversations we need to have while it's still possible. I want to focus on strengthening the bond with each one of you, creating memories that last longer than any career success ever could.
