I am sad. I just heard that President Hinckley passed away. I feel like nothing I can say will pay proper tribute to him. I suppose all I can say is that he was an amazing prophet in every sense of the word. I am happy that he has once again been reunited with his wife, whom he loved so much, for all eternity. I will always remember his humor, his stories, his convictions, his energy, his knowledge, his leadership, and above all, his astounding spirituality and love of God. Regardless, I am still sad. We all realized this day was coming, but that doesn't make it any easier. President Hinckley led the church during the most influential point in my life. Thus, he will always hold a special place in my heart. I respected him and loved him. I realize it was his time to go and I will be optimistic about the future. I know that our new prophet will be the right person to lead the LDS Church from this day forward and that things will be okay.

My Heart Hurts

I will miss him too. I have always had so much hope for the world because he was in it. I will still have hope though, even though he has left because of the things he taught me.
hey carlee,
my mom said she saw you at the temple! I saw your blog linked on lori's profile, so just thought i'd de-lurk and say hi, Hope all is well!

I know he was and will continue to be a very important and powerful force in your life. I'm sorry for your loss, but glad that you are still looking forward to the good things the future has in store for you.
There's a time for everything and he more than served his time and fulfilled what he was needed for here. We will all love him and miss him but like you said, we know that the Lord will guide the next prophet just as He has President Hinckley.
It is sad. Although we all knew it was coming sooner or later, I think we also thought maybe he would live forever.
