Okay, I should have written something on this by now, but I haven't been able to get my thoughts aligned to anywhere where I felt like I could write something down about it.
Despite the shock and surprise I felt when I learned President Hinckley passes away, I felt it was right. He's been heading in this direction for awhile, and I think he knew it. I wouldn't put it past him to be excited for it. I know I'd be excited to go to heaven and see the love of my life again.
He will be sore missed. I am old enough that I was alive during one or two previous prophets' times, but young enough to not remember them. I have grown up in this church with President Hinckley at its head- under the direction of our Savior, Jesus Christ, of course.
He was described as "cute". It's true. He was very cute. Honestly, I don't think I could look at a picture of any other prophet or apostle, and think them as cute as Pres. Hinckley. Impressively, he had the ability to pull off being both "cute" and powerful at the same time.
Powerful, in the sense of- called by God, and ordained to act in His name for the sake of everyone on the Earth.
I'm grateful for his example, leadership, laughs, and love.
Gordon B. Hinckley was- and is- truly a great man.
I will miss him.
