ifuckedmartinfreeman:barnacling:racketstory:cumaeansibyl:suicideblonde:Today would have been Mr Rogers’ 84th birthday. Thanks for showing me how to rock a cardigan and always been a kind neighbor. true story:one time some dudes stole mr. rogers’s car, and it got into the news, like you’d expectthe next day the car was back where he’d left it with a note that said “we’re so sorry, we never would’ve taken it if we’d known it was yours”I like to think they recognized this as a sign from god and turned their lives aroundanother true story: mr. rogers lobbied in favor of vcrs back when the tv and movie industries were against them, because he wanted families to be able to record shows and watch them togetherhe 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 areand 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 friendI believe he is a for-real saint and I wish I could be more like him but it’s okay, I know he loves me just the way I amAnother 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. Always reblog Mr. Rogers.i’m actually crying you don’t understand -- source link
