Wish Upon a Star: A Tribute to Mister Rogers (Explore #18!)

"One of the greatest gifts you can give anybody is the gift of your honest self." ~ Fred Rogers

Today I was reminded of Mister Rogers, who had a show on television for children from 1968 to 2001. He passed away in 2003 and I remember how sad I felt then, remembering all the shows I watched as young child. He was a very gentle, kind man who delivered wonderful messages and lessons through his show on PBS.

Today I saw an article about a wonderful music video dedicated to Mister Rogers that's gone viral on YouTube. As I watched, the memories of this man, and the sorrow of losing people in my life, and the eminent death of people near and dear to my heart made me cry, but also made me smile through my tears with the good memories I have too. I hope that you will watch this video. It's a very touching dedication by PBS Studios which I am sure you will enjoy.
