If you have to say that you are all those things, well, the chances are you ain't any of 'em.
Fred Rogers really was a friend of mine, and Katie ain't no Fred Rogers.
My daughter watched him without fail while she was growing up, and I watched him too, with her in my lap. But I suppose I never did grow up.
You are blessed to have been a friend of Mr. Rogers in this life, and I hope that you -- and I -- may see him again some day in a place where he so rightly belongs.
He was a godly man, and I wish he and a million others like him were still alive, teaching children to love and to learn and to not be afraid....
