neighbors of all ages

?I remember the first time I saw Mr. Rogers' neighborhood as a little girl. I was not more than 6 years old. I stayed faithful and true even as a teenager. He taught me to be considerate of everyone's feelings and of course to tie my shoes! Most importantly, he taught me patience. The way he slowly talked and how deliberate he was with all his actions, it caused me to think about every move I made. I know it may sound weird, but he taught me to rethink each action and make sure it was the right thing to do. Now at the age of 29, I reflect on lessons learned and have incorporated them into my own children. I became a school teacher for special needs students and we even watch Mr. Rogers' neighborhood in class. With such a fast paced life, it is a wonderful reminder of how peaceful it is to come back to the quiet peace of the neighborhood. Mr. Rogers did speak to many generations and still does. His death still stings because I grew up with morals and many came from his show. As I reflect, I realize that it is a beautiful day in the neighborhood, no matter how bleak it may seem. I miss you Mr. Rogers! God bless. Charity - Cheraw, SC



My daughter, LunaLucia, is two-years old and loves Mister Rogers. I recall watching him when I was a child and learning valuable lessons. I am so glad that she is able to enjoy his programs as much as I once did. Elizabeth - Middletown, CT
