I just wanted to write some of my feeling on our wonderful prophet. President Hinckley was the prophet for most of my life, and I know he'll always hold a special place in my heart. he had such a good way of relating to us as members of the church. We all know he was nearly perfect and yet he he was so down to earth and seemed so human. I absolutely loved his sense of humor. he has such a good way at getting his messages across and always gets a little giggle out of everyone at the same time. He was such a positive person, and such a goer, even until the very end. I guess that's why it came to me as such a surprise, the way he acted made you feel like he at least had a good 10 years left. What a blessing that he didn't have to have a long drawn out process to make it home and back to his wife.
I do feel like I've lost someone so close to me like a grandpa.
It was so neat, in church today (before anyone knew any of this) our sacrament talks were all about President Hinckley. someone told a story that his daughter told. she said she loved his sense of humor, but more than that she loved to watch him tell a joke, he would just crack up at his own punch line. What a neat and tender mercy to hear all about him today. I will forever be grateful to him as a prophet.

so your blog broke the news to me about Pres. Hinckley. I had no idea until i read your sweet comments. so sad, but also good. Also, good luck with the weight loss, i am sure you will lose it, you always do!
Good Things Utah did their show on him today and they said how neat it is that all the jr. high and highschool kids were texting about it last night to wear white or sunday best to school in honor of him. So sweet!
That is so neat that they talked about him on Sunday! I know what you mean about feeling like you lost a grandpa. He is amazing!
I just wanted to say thanks wrighting this. I feel exactly the same way about him. It shows you what a great and yet humble man he was because so many people felt as if they had lost someone realy close to them, and they never even met him personaly (myself included).
