He Will Be Missed...

So I told myself that I wouldn't blog again until I had something worth blogging about. Well here I am, several hours after watching Gordon B. Hinckley's funeral, and I just had to say something. I was overcome with emotion at so many different moments during the service. I felt so much love and gratitude for this man whom I never personally met but whose influence I felt time and time again as I watched him, heard him speak, and felt the love that he had for me. He was the first prophet that I remembered where I was when I knew that he was a prophet of God. He was the first prophet that I truly felt could be my grandpa, and how grateful I am that his family shared him with the world. He will be so deeply missed. Thank you, Gordon B. Hinckley. Thank you for a life of service and a legacy that will live on for many, many, generations to come.
