Good Neighbor Stories: This Mr. Rogers' quote is circulating on social media today in the wake of Boston. I've posted it before on the website, but here it is again. 
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.“
