I don't know who you are, either. When I was little, my late sister knew I was sad about a lot of things. We were hanging out in our yard, and she kept encouraging me to look up! look up!...we were sitting near a ladder my father had set up earlier. there was a flower on the top of the ladder she had picked just for me.

It was, in fact, PBS children's television host Mr. Rogers who always carried in his wallet a quote from a social worker that said:

"There isn't anyone you couldn't love once you've heard their story."

Mr. Ski! I don't know if you remember me, but I was your 3rd grade student at keys gate charter school. You are my all time favorite teacher. I hope your doing well.

That made my day and it has helped change my life, as I have changed others' lives.
