Yes, listening. I have MS and it has taken most of my vision so I listen to everything on my computer. I can clearly picture in my mind, though, those women helping that other woman with her chores but most of all spending time with her--loving on her--through a came of Scrabble. Yes, that is more than just a game!<br /><br />It makes me think of the way my girls and many friends go out of their way to include me in activities that require vision. I cannot play Scrabble (or many other games) but I can listen and enjoy the laughter...and sometimes help come up with a word when given letter choices. The way they included me...well...that is love.Mike and Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785001067154904051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-51568803361790053192010-09-16T16:51:16.400-05:002010-09-16T16:51:16.400-05:00This post put a lump in my throat and tears in my ...This post put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.

I hope you are finding some comfort in these precious memories of her. <br /><br />I was never very good at Scrabble, and that sort of left me feeling lame, since I'd been an English major and all. <br /><br />I am feeling your pain of loss, as we walk through the last days with my mother-in-law. I have my eyes on God, but my heart breaks. <br /><br />Blessings to you -- and thank you for this wonderful memory.Michelle DeRushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658349105535790020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-75043994148132044162010-09-16T07:22:09.442-05:002010-09-16T07:22:09.442-05:00What a beautiful, powerful story!

It's a very slow game, and she fusses with us over xi and qi, but she enjoys it, and I hope the kids will have good memories of it.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-51971117009497741272010-09-15T15:45:23.067-05:002010-09-15T15:45:23.067-05:00This made me cry.
