Spring has finally arrived in Washington. Tulips and hyacinths are in full bloom.
Birds are busy building nests and the sounds of geese returning from Canada fill the air.

Rodney shares with us the lessons he has learned from fathering two children with special needs. His focus is on his son Geoff and the realization that the most important things in life have so much to do with just enjoying life.
