My sister and mom just called to tell me that President Hinckley, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has passed away tonight. I, like many others, loved him a lot. I didn't know him personally, but felt like I did just like I'm sure a lot of others did. And I expected that this would happen soon because of his age and his failing health, not to mention how much he missed his dear sweet Marjorie who he has been reunited with. I don't know what else to say... other than I'm glad in my life time that he was the prophet I was so privileged to shake hands with, and that for half of my life he's been a significant source of inspiration and motivation and guidance to me. He will be DEARLY missed. And even among so much change in the Church and the world, I still have a testimony and know that all will be well.

I heart you too. (but, is it possible that GBH and Ben are conversing right now...perhaps he's giving Ben some pointers...I think so.)
I actually thought of that last night... but then it goes to the whole, is the spirit entered into the body at conception? Or when they come to the earth? Because he does little things that are like his daddy already... so I wonder if that's because of his little spirit... but I'd like to think he's hanging tough with GBH and my big bro Brian. :)
I was so upset when I heard...Stupid pregnancy hormones.
I miss him too. It's bittersweet. I instantly thought of the reunion that he and his sweet wife were having and I couldn't hold back. Can you imagine what heaven is like as soon as a prophet passes? I imagine all of the angels singing, 'We Thank Thee Oh God for a Prophet'! Gives me goosebumps!
