Missing you, SF 💛

These two, though. 😍

This is love.
Yesterday, Sam and I saw Won’t You Be My Neighbor, which tells the story of Fred Rogers and his show Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. More than that, the documentary nearly begs for us to understand that the show was more than just a show. That Fred’s puppets represented more than imaginary characters. That Fred’s mission was to show children and adults that they deserve to be loved. That they are loved. That they are liked just the way they are. That it’s okay to have feelings and to express them. That we are all neighbors and we should treat each other as such and respect each other’s dignity as human beings. Fred Rogers’ support for the LGBTQ+ community was not always as outwardly expressed as it should have been. In fact, a friend and actor on his show, François Clemmons, was a gay man who kept this part of his life secret and was encouraged by Fred to keep it that way- to the point that François was married to a woman for a period of time. Sometimes we are blinded from our own love and from our own values. If we do not want to encourage hate, we have to be able to look at our neighbors- in our homes, across the street, in our country and across borders- and treat them as we would hope to be treated. Love them as fellow humans deserve to be loved.

Recently shared Meghan and Caleb's feature wedding video. We are especially humbled when documenting with video, as we position ourselves in an even quieter backseat. We feel that in a video, if approached delicately, and with no showing off on our part, people have the opportunity to see these moments as they truly unfolded for and in front of them. You can see their video via the link in our bio.
