Game with Robin

I wanted to record an experience some of my children had when Robin was visiting. Cori, Nati, Katy and I played a game on Friday afternoon. It was similar to pictionary, but you mold an image with clay. This game includes a timer and a ton of guessing on what the clay image is supposed to be. What you mold is revealed on a card you get at random. We all started using both hands, and Robin without a complaint, started to mold hers with her left hand. We decided to make the game even, all of us would have to mold our clay using only our left hand. We laughed hard and had a lot of fun, but it gave us all a very real sense of what Rob has been going through regarding only one of her many physical trials since her stroke. We had more empathy and admiration for her "not-give-up" attitude.
