Evie G 1000 watt smile the cutest

Written 27th June 2026 for Miranda Hawley contest " Thousand Watt Smile "

Evie you blessed my life everyday I worked
It was a joy and honour to be your support worker
You didn't have sight to see 
Non- verbal too but wow, that smile

You lite up every room, love oozed from smiles
Boy ~ did you love chocolate, your delight
Still hear you giggle when I showered you
You'd slap your belly, chocolate, apple pie !

Music every genre, your smiles increased 
You'd dance in your chair to the beat
How I loved describing clouds, stars, nature
I knew even though never seen, you understood me.

chocolate, apple pie only 2 words she spoke

Alison A Smith June 27, 2026 at 5:28 AM They say if one sense goes the others take over. Smiles become a sense. Thank you for sharing Evie's story. Dorothy Gibbons June 27, 2026 at 6:38 AM Thank you Alison her smiles were like no other ive seen :)) one of other support workers said she wont understand you going on about clouds flowers, colours she's blind. I said she understands my descriptions perfectly I know by smiles. She taught me alot.:)
