Me: I wonder what it would have been like to have President Hinckley for a grandpa.
Jonathan: Yeah.
Me: He would’ve hit you upside the head.
John: He would’ve hit you upside the head.
It’s true. All around.
We found out tonight that President Hinckley passed away. It does feel sad- although we know he is with the girl of his dreams again, we’ll miss his spirit and his personality- and more than anything, I’ll miss his optimism. I clung to it on more than one occasion when the world seemed particularly bleak. I know we follow the keys, the priesthood, and our Savior and not a man, but I loved this one. So many of us did. I think it’s ok to take a few minutes to be sad, even if it is only for ourselves.
