A Letter to the Next Generation

To my dear nieces and nephews,

and my beloved great-nieces and great-nephews,

My dear ones,

I know there will come a day when I am no longer here to watch you grow or celebrate your victories in person. But please know this: every moment we have shared has been a true gift to me. I have cherished your laughter, your stories, your milestones, and the simple joy of being your uncle.

Wherever life leads you, walk with courage, kindness, and hope. Seek the things that bring you meaning. Build lives you can be proud of. And never forget that your presence in this world matters more than you realize.

I am deeply proud of each of you—not only for what you accomplish, but for the character and heart you carry. Those are the things that truly last.

If there were times I was not perfect, remember that my love for you never wavered. It was always sincere, always steady, and always from the heart.

Carry me with you in your memories, in your laughter, and in the love we shared. In that way, I am never far away.

With all my love and my hopes for your bright futures,

Uncle Gregory Alexander MD
