Newborns at a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania childrens' hospital got dressed up like Mr. Rogers on World Kindness Day back in November |
Back in November, the widow of Mr. Rogers was invited to visit a Pittsburgh womens' hospital as part of World Kindness Day.
Mr. Rogers was among the kindest people the world has even know, so the visit seemed appropriate.
Mrs. Rogers was led into the nursery, where newborns relaxed and recovered after entering this world. What Mrs. Rogers found hand to be quite familiar to her, and would make us all go "Awwwwwww."
All the newborn were dressed in red cardigans, little ties, comfortable pants and sneakers. I guess that was the perfect way to dress for Pittsburgh's newest neighbors.
As anyone who knows and loves Mr. Rogers knows, that's how he was dressed as he greeted us at each episode, when it was always a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
The mom of one of the newborns said she watched Mr. Rogers as a kid and his message of kindness and acceptance stuck with her.
She and her husband said those are the values they want to instill in their newborn daughter. I guess Mr. Rogers' legacy lives on, huh?
Here's a nice news clip of the event from CBS Pittsburgh:
