I really don't cry that often. I guess you could say I am a bit private - it takes a lot for me to share experiences which I hold really personal or I feel are secret or sacred. Because of this I really didn't want to do a post about the death of President Hinckley. But I can't help it - I have been such a BFB about it all week that it just seems like I need to mention it. I have found myself at work choking up about his death - this is so unlike me! I have had to hurry and look out my window because I don't want anyone walking past my office to see me (but if they did they would think that I was crying over work . . . it happens a lot here - but not by me). Anyway. . . I think it is safe to say that this week I am mourning the death of this beloved prophet. It has hit me much deeper than I would have ever thought. Uh oh here I go again. (Also BFB is short for big fat baby).

Thanks for posting this KT - I am so gratefull for the life of President Hinckley. He was a remarkable man. We will miss him.
I agree--I could not have imagined a better Prophet for our time. He was wonderfully in tune with the needs of our generation, as well as so optimistic about the future. I surely will miss him as well, but I am so glad that he is reunited with his sweet wife. Thanks for making me take pause and remember him tonight.
I am going to third that. I will miss his wit and spirit. He has made such a difference in the growth of the church. He was a remarkable man and truly a servant and prophet of God.
You're not alone, KT. On Tuesday night it finally hit me and I too was a BFB. I also am going to miss him, but am happy that he is with his wife again. Among other things, he is such an example to me of endurance, kindness, hard work, and optimism. He makes me want to be better.
I want to say "amen" to the sentiments in the post and in the comments, but it feels a little flippant. I guess I'll just say ditto. I have been thinking a lot this week of how much President Hinckley has done for the Church as a whole and for me personally. I will miss him and his wonderful sense of humor, but I am very glad that he's back with Sister Hinckley.
