Kindergartener Christopher sent a letter out to the TV studio of Mister Roger's Neighborhood asking if he could visit, and received a response back that--as his mother described--left him "beaming."

Dear Christopher,



You are growing and learning so many new things every day. Now you are 6 years old, and you're learning how to type. You did a fine job on your letter! I know it can take a lot of practice to be able to type well. I'm proud of that way you're growing, and I hope you are, too.


Despite rejecting his request, the letter written by Fred Rogers himself was so touching that Christopher's father sent out another letter to thank him. The thank you letter received more kind words from Mr. Rogers, who will forever remind us that it's a beautiful day. -Link
