Our dear sweet Prophet!!

I have had a very hard time putting into words what I feel in my heart. It is an end of an era of sorts for me. I have changed in so many ways since President Hinckley was called as a Prophet. I graduated from high school and college. I accepted a mission call signed by this great man. I married the man of my dreams just a week after the Conference Center was dedicated. We say that we were the first couple to take their wedding pictures at that magnificent building. I have had two wonderful children who only know President Hinckley as the Prophet.
Today as I was thinking about what the next 13 years may bring I thought about my two boys and I started to cry. I have a 6 year old and the next Prophet who is called could be the Prophet that signs his mission call. What a difference 13 years make!!! I have such a strong testimony of this Gospel. I was amazed as I watched the funeral at how much has been done in 13 years. I pray that I can make such a difference on the life of my 6 year old so that when he is 19 and accepting his mission call he can look back on the example of his mother and what she has done. Thank you President Hinckley for being such a great example of service and love. We will miss you!!!
