Saying, "Goodbye"


I was so sad to hear about the passing of our Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley. He is the only Prophet I have ever really known, since becoming a member of the Church, and I truly loved him. There was just such a warmth about him, and his wit always made me laugh. He reminded me of that Grandpa that everyone loves and always wants to hug. I still remember lining up to see him, at BYU. He came for a devotional, and I waited outside to watch him pass by. I remember him looking our way and waving, and that feeling that he was "chosen by God" has always stayed with me. I know he is with his family now, and he couldn't wait to see his wife again, but I will miss him. He truly was a Prophet of God!
