The beloved children's television host, Mr. Rogers (Fred Rogers), referred to the numbers 1-4-3 as standing for the letters in the phrase 'I love you.' It is also the weight he maintained throughout his life as an adult.
In 2019 the Governor of Pennsylvania declared the 143rd day of the year, each year subsequently, as Mr. Rogers Day of Kindness, and people are encouraged to perform simple acts of kindness in his memory throughout the year. It quickly made international news, with fans of the program and his philosophy adopting the day.
Fred Rogers was born March 20, 1928, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and died February 27, 2003, in Pittsburg. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood aired on American Public Television from 1968 until 2001. Most children born after 1963 have grown up with him (including this writer, who remembers it as one of her favorite shows as a child—along with "Scooby Doo" and "I Love Lucy" reruns).
An ordained Presbyterian minister, his entire life's work was devoted to children and children's issues. He often tackled complex subjects such as death, divorce, and death in a way children could relate to and understand. Above all, he focused on building children up and helping them navigate a complicated life.
