People born around 2000 in the US most probably grew up watching the very lovable Steve Burns playing “Steve” on the kids’ show, “Blue’s Clues”. They were also probably shattered when, in 2002, Steve decided to move on from the popular show to pursue a career in music and voice-over(配音) acting.
In a 2021 video, Steve finally got around to apologizing to his fans for leaving the show, saying he’s “super glad we’re still friends”. His message touched his now-adult fans and they believe that he still thinks about his fans, particularly fans like Brandon Ragland.
Back in 2000, Brandon was 4 years old and battling cancer. He was also fully interested with “Blue’s Clues”, so when he was chosen for the Make-A-Wish program, the choice was clear. He wanted nothing more than to meet Steve! His wish came true, and Brandon met Steve in a New York City restaurant, went shopping at Toys “R” Us, and got to see “Blue’s Clues Live”.
It’s a day Brandon never forgot. Thankfully, he was able to beat his cancer, and now he’s a 27-year-old with a son of his own. When he heard that Steve would be making an appearance at Steel City Con in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, he went and waited in line until he was once again face-to-face with his childhood hero.
Brandon showed Steve the photos, and he was surprised to hear Steve say, “I remember this! I remember you!” Steve recalled the night exactly. Steve insisted on taking a photograph of the two of them, “just for him personally to keep”. Both men were holding back tears when Steve told Brandon, “I’m so happy you’re here, this made my entire year.”
“I thanked him for not only being there today, but meeting me all those years ago,” Brandon said, adding that Steve is “one of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure to meet. I think he might have been more moved than I was throughout the process.”
