Ward was 3 years older than me. I email someone every morning with an email 
that is titled Up. No deep discourse. Just a sentence saying what I plan to do 
that day.  They either send or reply to me with the same. If we have not heard 
from each other by 11:00 we try text. If that does not work we contact their 
local police and ask for a welfare check. I also send a daily meme to another 
person. I may ask if they care to get in on the scheme.

There are paid services that basically do the same thing.
