President Hinckley was a good and honorable man. He stood for all that was good and all that was kind on this earth. I will miss him, but as JR pointed out, he lived his entire life for that moment in which he could see his Heavenly Father again. I just feel thankful to have heard his words and seen his example. He was there at Grace's baby blessing. He was the voice I most looked forward to hearing every six months at conference. He was there when, at a trying time in my life I had to let the sacrament pass by me, untaken, and he just smiled compassionately down at me from the front pews-as my Savior would have done. The world will ache at the loss of such a good man. But, perhaps it will be a little kinder for having known him. Monday, January 28, 2008
