On this day, 23 years ago, the world lost a friend, a legend and a neighbor. The incredible Fred Rodgers was a visionary, a beacon and in his own way, a trendsetter of kindness. 🌞
I remember the first time I ever watched Mister Rogers' Neighborhood on PBS as a small, small child and remember being instantly hooked. At the time, I didn't know what a "rerun" was and spent a joyous few months thinking Mister Rogers was alive and doing just fine. I don't remember who broke the news to me, just that I was devasted. The fact of the matter is that Fred passed away two months before I was born and that's a different kind of whiplash.
This is what makes the arts, vintage treasures and so on so special, it outlives us and speaks to generations beyond what we intended.
