haha ... and you are also SO cute!

(exactly about how young are you... under twenty or over twenty? It helps to know this when working on a game with someone too) Since I am definitely the grandmother of the group (although a young grandmother! sort of)... you can all just call me "Nonnie"
I think the word you were looking for is
niece, if you meant "a female nephew".
At first I didn't understand the reference you made to the "great waves"... but it just dawned on me you must be referring to the horrible tidal wave, tsunami, or whatever they are calling it. Yes, it was such a horrific catastrophe

... so horrible it's hard to get your mind around it... to actually take it all in or fathom the magnitude of it all.
