I was shocked and saddened last night when I heard of his passing. I really loved President Hinckley, and for the last few years even, every time I heard him speak I hoped it wouldn't be the last time! He was such a great man, and I got really emotional last night realizing my children wouldn't know him as their prophet. He was the perfect leader for our Church at this time and did an amazing job and helping all of us aspire to be our best. I will miss him. I also wondered what Heaven was like last night....pretty amazing I'm sure! I am so happy for him to be reunited with his sweet wife! I think my favorite thing he always said was "Be of good cheer!" What a legacy he left.

This is a monumental day I hope you know...I'm the FIRST person to comment on your post! Usually when I go to comment, there's already 25other ones. Haha! I have to tell you, I always pull up your blog at work and show off your beautiful babies to the girls I work with! Your a hit! My family was at my apartment the other day and Sadie and Kenz kept saying to Brooke, "Tell more stories about Lauren and Hallie!" It was so cute. Hope everything is going great!
Trav and I were saying that there was probably a huge party in heaven last night. I am happy to think of him with his cute little wife. It seems like since she died some of the fire went out of him. I love that man, and am so glad we have the knowledge of the afterlife.
DITTO!!!
There is NO question in my mind that he truly was a prophet of God! I listened to KSL radio the entire day after he died and it was so interesting to here everyones comments. It felt so personal to me when he passed. It is almost weird to think that millions of people are mourning with me. I felt like I lost someone I truly love. Congratulations to him for living and INCREDIBLE life and for being able to join his wife and Maker again.
I feel the same way knowing my kids won't get to grow up with him as prophet. It put a slight damper on my mood in Florida-even though he is so happy to be with his cute little wife again. I swear we will come see you guys soon-miss ya!
how you can get 21 comments on pony tails and only a few on pres hinckley, i will just never know! but i miss him, it hadn't really hit me until all these emails and tributes have been on tv and the internet, it's sinking in. he was such an awesome person!
