number 7 made me cry, and 8 made me laugh. Just like Mr. Rogers. I feel bad the youth of today won’t experience him. He was a perfect, sweet human being, and I only wish I could’ve realized that he was once in a generation type guy.

I grew up in the inner city and my neighborhood was not a great place were I could have felt safe, but when Mr. Rogers came on I felt safe. Thanks for teaching me and helping me see beyond the place I lived in and towards the piece that I can now offer my own children. <3 u.

In was a 5 year old child with ADHD in 1969 running around out of control and driving my Mama crazy. She turned on Mr Rogers and I sat my ass down and watched that sweet man tell me that he liked me just the way I am. My Mama marveled at my sudden calm and noticed a tear in my eye. She asked me why and I could only shrug. Years later I watched my own son watched Mr. Rogers. He too had ADHD. He suddenly calmed while Mr. Rogers sang It’s a Wonderful day in the Neighborhood.” I marveled at his sudden calm, too. No tears this time, but a look of awe on my son’s face told me that he saw what I saw when I was 5. He saw the true face of goodness. My son’s children don’t have Mr. Rogers now. That saddens me. What a lovely fellow.

  It’s amazing to me that he was able to affect the lives of so many people over several generations! I was watching his show for the latter half of the 80s, into the 90s. His show was wonderful and I was saddened by his death. You should buy some Mr. Rogers dvds for your grandchildren!

  I also had ADHD, but it wasn’t diagnosed until much later- around high school. I would also stop destroying everything in sight and sit down and listen to him tell me he loved me the way I was, and I remember him giving me hope that maybe someday, someone else would too.

In the second grade I got in trouble
at school for punching a kid who said
Mr. Rogers was for babies.
I’m a bit ashamed of my violence,
But it was worth it.

There aren’t enough words to express what an incredible man he was and the contributions he made to this world. I only hope that his lessons never die.
