It’s hard to believe that another year is upon us. New opportunities, new places to go– it’s exciting!
As the year begins, my thoughts turn to my father. How can I connect with him when we live 3 hours away? How can I make intentional plans to help him?
Unfortunately, we could not see him at Christmas. The Blizzard of ” 22 prevented our Christmas party. Michigan winter weather is unpredictable, so what is a better idea?
FaceTiming with text is a new way I am communicating. I call the nurse at around 1:30, she sets up his computer, and we connect. At the bottom of the screen, you can see various icons. The texting feature works well. I text and then point to the words on the screen. The challenge was that it took too long. Live captions are the newest feature I discovered. Hopefully, this will help us communicate even better!
What are other strategies I can implement? Visits are good, but sometimes hard to schedule with the unpredictable weather. Printed photos of the family? I need to think harder about these strategies for 2023.
