Hearts are heavy in Chicago with news of the latest su***de of a Chicago Police Department officer. It's not OK to not be OK.
Please seek help when it seems like too much. Whether it's you taking your work issues home, or taking your home issues to work. There are others who may not completely understand, but they will listen and sometimes that's all you need. ronrufo.com
