If you were a kid in the 1990s or 2000s, you almost certainly remember the Nick Jr. series Blue's Clues and its friendly, enthusiastic host Steve.

And you probably also remember that dark day when Steve abruptly abandoned you to "go to college" and left you to deal with his "brother" named "Joe" with nary an explanation.

Younger generations will never know the trauma!

Well Steve Burns, the actor who played the iconic host by the same name, recently took to social media to explain it all to your forever shattered inner child.

The video, seen below, is hitting everyone right in the feels.

Millennials, get your tissues ready!


The video was produced by Nick Jr., the cable channel that created and aired the classic show about a lovable guy named Steve and his mystery-solving dog Blue, to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary.

In it, a now all-grown-up Steve took a trip down memory lane to address that very memorable switcheroo.

Speaking to his now adult fans who first met him 25 years ago, Burns said:

"Remember how... one day I was like 'Oh hey, guess what, big news: I'm leaving... and then I got on a bus and I left...? ...That was kind of abrupt."

Yes, actually it was Steve, thank you for finally acknowledging the pain.

Steve then went on to acknowledge all the extraordinary changes both he and Blue's Clues devotees have undergone since that old switcheroo.

"I mean we started out with clues and now it's what? Student loans. And jobs. And families."

And as if he wasn't already yanking on our heartstrings with full force, he then said he couldn't have done everything he's done in life without the Blue's Clues fandom.

And then he really hit us in the feels.

"I guess I just wanted to say that after all these years, I never forgot you. Ever. And I'm super glad we're still friends."

Steve!

STAHHHHP!

On Twitter, former Blue's Clues fans could barely contain their emotions after seeing their old buddy after all these years.









Though not everyone was left feeling warm and fuzzy.




Well for better or worse, at least now it can be about healing.

Thanks, Steve!

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
