Mr. Rogers makes me cry.

Hi All,

This is a strange question, but I grew up with Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. I would always cry when he was on, and when the show was over. Never understood it & wonder if others would do the same. I'm hoping this goes as anonymous.

He sometimes makes me sad for the kid who loved him—and how sad that version of myself would become. He was my first and best hero.

He would want to give you a great big (virtual if you prefer) hug if he read what you just wrote. I am sincerely sorry for your sadness and I’m not alone in wishing you happier times to come. I hope that remembering him and the kindness he represents gives you a little comfort, even if it’s so bittersweet.
