Distractions

I still miss Rich. I will always miss him. Some days are harder than others. I just keep praying. And looking at photos. And sometimes I cry and sometimes I laugh.
And sometimes I even talk out loud to him. So I imagine that he laughs at me sometimes too.
We Catholics have a wonderful faith. And there are such blessings with that faith. Like the Communion of Saints. I remember when I went to RCIA class to become Catholic and was learning about this. What a gift God has given us – being able to communicate with those in heaven and believe that they still love us and maybe even try to communicate with us. It gives me hope and helps me heal. We will be together someday.
I have been distracting myself playing with my echo dot. Do you have one? It’s like a toy but it can be quite useful.
I have set up a few lights to turn on when I tell Alexa (the echo dot) to turn them on. I can just sit in my living room chair and get my bedroom lights turned on. How awesome is that?
I can be out somewhere, and turn the lights off or on using my app. That makes the place look occupied even when it isn’t.
Alexa also reminds me to take my medication. And the other day she helped me find my phone! All I had to do was tell her to find my phone and I heard it ring!
Right now it is just a toy to play with but I do find the light thing to be quite useful.
Now I wonder if Rich would like all of this or would it drive him crazy?
I think I know the answer to that question.
