Dear Jim Henson,

Thank you, for finding the Rainbow Connection.

Sincerely,

The lovers, The dreamers and me.

Wow. You don't realize the impact Henson had on your life until you are a 41 year old man sitting here with tears running down your face while watching The Muppet Show.

[James Lewis]

I cried.

I always was a little proud of the fact that I shared a birthday with Mr. Henson. The day I learned that he died hit me especially hard. No matter what, he will always hold a special place in my heart for the joy of watching the characters and stories he gave us. He will ALWAYS be missed.

[Jamie Lemon]

Yes there probably bots, so that would explain it.

Growing up with the muppets, I was crying as they all found out he was... was... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ahhh!!!

[wildste]

Dude, I was in tears as soon as they read that first letter

[Aigloblam]

yeah you win i'd say...i damn sure didnt beat you. The first comment i saw made me break down.

[Aigloblam]

Really, REALLY hard. 

[Aigloblam]

Is there anybody who didn't cry while seeing this? Just think about that...Here we are, a bunch of grown people, all feeling the same way about a man who died years ago. So very sad, but beautiful at the same time. Because of this one man, we have all laughed and cried equally hard. This one man touched us all. In the end, Thats the True worth of a man.

These millions of tears are for you Jim. Just as the laughs before them. Thank you for everything.

[Aigloblam]

You didn't realize it, but a year ago when you wrote a simple comment on a random YouTube video...You were putting down the most simple and perfect thing that you possibly could. And here I sit, a 30 year old man, Crying like my 3yr old son. I just want to say Thank you for that. Thank you very much.
