My Heart is Sad


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.
