22. A Caring Community

Hosted by: Cynthia Blomquist Gustavson

When you need help, you need to rely on others. People of Tulsa are very good at helping others, but so are Canada geese. Cynthia reads a poem about them which features a gosling that cannot fly. She also reflects on personal, private experience after her husband's accident when he could not move, but had all the love and support. We cannot live alone.
