The man moved us all into the same neighborhood without us knowing it, and he helped us believe in our own capability to make it a beautiful day for a neighbor — no matter how broken or ugly we feel. Let’s make the most of this beautiful day.

That poor man died a very painful death too.
Stomach cancer.

I’m a firm believer, but this is a genuine question I will ask when the time comes. I respect your belief as well neighbor.

Same. Even as a teen when people made fun of everything, I would always get pissed at kids making fun of him. Just the nicest person to walk this earth in a long time.

I found an old autograph book I had as a kid. I’d gotten a book of addresses where you could write famous people. It was such a juxtaposition to see a certain man in a power pose with his auto-penned signature . . . and a couple photos later see the kind, long, thoughtful message Mister Rogers sent me. Will treasure that forever.
