We’re Not Done Yet, We’re Still Playing:

Laura’s Scrabble Story

12-year-old Laura beat everyone at Scrabble: Mom, Grandma, and a few of our children’s hospice volunteers, as they played for hours in the main family room at Emily’s House. She was non-verbal, seated in a wheelchair, dependent on others for mobility assistance and care, and, yet, she was a powerhouse at Scrabble. She used her eyes and smiles to communicate with her mom which Scrabble letter tiles she wanted to play. She could play all day, and if someone tried to wrap up a game, she would let it be known: “We’re not done. We’re still playing!”
