Gentle Reader,

C and Nani

Heaven is rejoicing in Nani's beauty.  I was reading C's email from earlier in the year that was still in my Inbox. He had written this soon after he and Nani returned from a glorious trip to South Kona:

"I gave Annie her Hawaiian nickname, finally .... Nani.  Easy for da Hawaiians to remember and rhymes wid her real name."

C could not have gifted his wife, someone so beautiful in every way, with a better name than Nani.  

Ever since, Annie has been Nani to me. Her Hawaiian name suits her so very well. Nani means beautiful in Hawaiian. Annie is from France, so her name was not pronounced Annie as in Annie Oakley, but Ah' nee. Nani is not pronounced Nanny, but Nah' nee.

And it rhymes.

Beautifully. 

Thank you, Yods.
Now you know who Nani is.
You and Kalena,
go hug each other real tight 
for us.
