FAVORITE THINGS






















He was always, always thinking about children, letting them know it’s okay to be sad or scared or mad and how to deal with it, letting them know there’s at least one person in the world who loves them just the way they are and no matter who you were, no matter why you crossed his path, he wanted to know about your life and understand you and be your friend.

True story: one time he received a letter from a blind girl who mentioned that she gets nervous sometimes that he’d forget to feed the fish.  From that moment on, he made some comment outloud about how he was feeding the fish so she and any other blind viewers would know that he hadn’t forgotten.

Mr. Rogers was red-green color blind, swam every morning, was a vegetarian, neither smoked nor drank and all of his sweaters were knitted by his mother.

Fred Rogers (March 20, 1928 – February 27, 2003)
