Growing up as a child, I remember watching Mister Rogers on PBS. And I always felt as though he was talking to just me. He had such a calming effect and the life lessons that I learned then, still apply today.

I remember this one episode in particular, because it was the first time that I had ever seen a child in a wheelchair. And the thing that I took away from it, was that Jeffery was no different than anyone else. He was special just the way that he was. He would not be able to do the same things that other children could, but that he was still a good kid.

And then while do some searches on Youtube for Mister Rogers, I came across this video of Mister Rogers and Jeff being reunited. Please take a moment and watch this video.

I hate that my boys will not grow up watching Mister Rogers as I did as a child.  But I hope that I can share with them and teach them some of the important life lessons that he taught me and the rest of his neighbors. Take a minute to visit his website and see how the legacy of Mister Rogers lives on today.
