Me and My Girl: The Passing of Our Prophet

The Passing of Our Prophet

Last night, the 27th, President Hinckley passed away. He was 97. WOW! What a life he has lived! I can't explain the impact his words have had on my life and in my heart. I will definitely miss seeing his face, and hearing his words. I think how lucky all the people are in heaven who now get to be next to him, and I can't help think how wonderful he must feel to be HOME with his wife, and God and Jesus Christ. He definitely was a faithful servant.
I feel so lucky that I got to hear him speak two weeks ago at my multistake conference in southern california. His words are always meaningful and uplifting. He will be missed!

My Favorite Quotes

"Live each day not as if it is your last, but as if it is your first, your best, your only day."

"We go on. Because it's the hard thing to do. And we owe ourselves the difficulty."
"Smile. Do not think of todays failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task, but you will succeed if you perservere; you will find joy in overcoming obstacles."
"Maybe the past is like an anchor, holding us back, maybe you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be"

"That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet"
"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't suppose to let you down probaby will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too hard, love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of hapiness you'll never get back."
