Dear Nautie Friends, I was incredibly moved by your comments yesterday. I was clearly feeling a bit glum while some residual gloom may reside I'm feeling much better today. I attribute my brighter spirits to your amazing messages.

They reinforced what I've known all along...I'm incredibly blessed.

You know what's as amazing as having great friends? Having family you consider friends and friends you consider family.

Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much)!

A me ke aloha pumehana (with warmest affection),

Megan the Nautie Mermate
