Nany

 

History

It took many weeks of pursuit including a dancing crash course that got out of hand which put me in the hospital with a paralyzed foot. I had to learn how to walk again from scratch. But, the story ended well, I got the girl! 

Importance

Nany is my wife and best friend. Intelligent, social, and compassionate. Even my own mother doesn't understand why she married me, possibly out of pity for my leg, because clearly she could have done much better.

I admire her quiet strength and subtle perseverance. She brings peace and calmness when I'm stressed. Nany's steadfast support enabled me to give up my day job and pursue my passion for antique arms to the fullest.

Nany, my favorite creature in the world!

"She is wonderful! Beautiful, intelligent, social.. well dressed.. Terrible taste in men."1
