President Hinckley is the first prophet I really remember. He's been the President of the church since I was old enough to really be aware of what that means. He was prophet through High school, spoke at my college graduation, and when I was married and had my first two children. I'm really going to miss him. Even though I never met the man, I felt like I knew him. I loved his humor, his work ethic, but mostly his example. When I listened to him speak, I knew that he was a prophet of God and always felt inspired to work harder and just be better. He was such a great example of a caring spouse. I can only imagine how happy he must have been to see his sweet wife again. I'm so glad that I know the transition to a new church President will be smooth, and I know the Lord has prepared someone amazing to take his place. Hopefully I can still remember to work on the things I always felt inspired to do when I listened to President Hinckley - to stand a little taller, work a little harder, and be a little better. I'll miss you, President Hinckley. Hopefully one day I'll get to shake your hand and thank you on the other side.
