well I think it's just such a pleasure to talk with you laughter what do you think mr. Rogers would think about this movie and Tom Hanks performance I think he would be absolutely delighted you know he was a huge Tom Hanks film of fan and he saw Forrest Gump about 40 times 40 times we lost track like success but he said that he saw something different every time and he he loved Tom and never met him sadly but their paths just never never crossed but I just I think he would have just loved the fact that and been amazed yeah I was so thrilled when they tell me that Tom had said yes I remember saying I love how you told everyone don't think as my husband as a saint because he wasn't he was a person why did you want to make that clear to everyone else I shouldn't have said that I'm getting a lot of questions about it I said it because Fred worked very hard on on the the hard things of life and I I guess I always think about a saint of somebody who's just just good without working at all you know but he worked hard on his on his ministry yeah and the ministry was the program and and it because of because of its being a national program he he had to had to not only did he hat have to he wanted to be inclusive so you'll never hear religious talk mm-hmm per se religious values yes very much but he as people say you walked the walk yeah yeah did you guys ever fight and how did you fight oh dear well we didn't really fight but sometimes I would come in and I would I would have been going at it with somebody like a garage mechanic or something who they didn't have much respect for a woman you know yeah back in my day and so I would go and I would come in and I would say to Fred oh and go on it on it and he would say well you just never know what that man was what was going on in his life earlier you just never know well that was just that was not the way to handle I wanted him to be bad along with but that's good because that calmed me down yeah how did he make you feel loved oh he told me he told me and he he showed me so my mom passed away her birthday was February 27th which I know that's the day Fred died so you know I wear this ring when I think about her I can kind of play with it yes there's something that you do to kind of just to yourself like oh absolutely I have I have a ring also that that he gave both of which he gave me and and the one is a crown and that was saying to a year you're my queen so I was my name is Sarah and so that was to to be Queen Sarah and the other is a diamond that his grandfather gave him and so that was my engagement ring he knew I like to do thank you so much you're so Thank You Heather thank you for [Music]
