I'm extremely certain that I would be a completely different person today if my mother had not let me watch Mister Rogers. There are videos of me when I was two, my eyes intently focused on the small television screen in Louisiana, mouthing the words to 'Won't you be my neighbor?'.
He was like the grandfather that I never had. Teaching me about friendship, being honest and taking turns.
