Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast.

I'm Tutor Dixon and I'm excited to have you join us for the podcast where we want to

focus on true stories of Americans from all walks of life.

As many of you know, I ran for governor in the state of Michigan last year and I became

frustrated with what I was seeing in my state.

So as I traveled around, I heard stories from people who were desperate also to write

those wrongs.

A lot of that connected to the pandemic and many of those stories were actually about

people who had lost loved ones and the pain of not being there by their side during that

time.

And that resonated with me because I actually lived through this pain myself.

My grandmother died alone in a nursing home, but interestingly it wasn't COVID that ended

her life.

She was suffering from a broken heart and so many people that I talked to in Michigan

went through the same thing.

So in Michigan, our nursing homes were locked down and then folks were actually allowed

to go outside and meet family members outside, but then they locked down again.

And I remember one of those last conversations I had with my grandmother, she looked at

me and she said, I don't think I can do this anymore.

And when you're younger, you don't really get what that means because I hadn't been

locked alone and she was locked away alone.
