There is a lonely closet somewhere containing a pair of white sneakers and limp hanging red sweater. The door will never be opened again and the sneakers and sweater will never again see the light of a " Good Day"; but, I can't help but believe that because a very good man named Fred Rogers opened that door for years to dress down and relax with his young friends, we are a better people. What greater contribution to society can be made by anyone? From somewhere, we can't possibly know where, we will continue to hear that voice of peace and reassurance whisper in the ears of each of us," Good Night Boys and Girls. Let's Talk Real Quietly and Hold Hands. We Won't Be Afraid Of The Dark, Will We, Boys and Girls?".

Now your post finally has me crying.......you have a beautiful way of expressing the essense of Mr. Rogers and his show.
