I served as a County Commissioner for over 14 years in Franklin County, Ohio. I was thinking of the work I did for county residents. I loved helping our residents get what they needed, and it was a King Solomon decision to make. I was balancing family caregiving issues. Finally, with the pandemic, I lost the balance. Family took priority over work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe issues I address in this book were ones I struggled to address for many years.
