Author's Summary: The old guy in Room 30B was about the most disagreeable human being that the nurses had ever met. But he did get visitors, including a retired Air Force Colonel.
Why This Must Be Read: This is one of my most beloved fics. It's from an outside point of view and in a setting that is very different from the usual stories, but it is still an outstanding yet quiet tribute to Rodney. Reading this throws you into a carousel of emotions. On the surface it's a story about Rodney's character that lets you laugh and sigh and roll your eyes but then it leads you deeper into the kindness of his soul and gives you goosebumps all over. It is an older fic, written when season three aired and it definitely is a fic everyone should know.
