There's something comforting in the fact that my son watches the exact same show I did as a kid. He loves Sesame Street and Reading Rainbow (my personal childhood favorite) but there is something about this kind, gentle man that makes me feel like I'm 5 years old again. Everyday when he comes on, I get misty eyed when he sings his good-bye song. But I think that what I carry from this incredible man is the quote he would say at the very end of the show: "People can like you, just as you are." Funny how as adults we still need that reassurance. Maybe we should all keep watching Mr Rogers. The world might be a better place.

So sorry but Mr. Roger's gives me the creeps. Is it true that he was once a sniper?
