Tribute to President Hinkley

I recieved this from Luana and I loved it. I tried to forward it to most of you but am not sure if it worked. If not, here it is. Enjoy!

That was beautiful, but perhaps it should come with a warning that it may make a person incredibly sad----again. I tried to tell myself as I looked at the image of our heartbroken prophet at the funeral of his sweetheart, that now he is whole and completely happy again, but I still boohooed like a baby through the whole thing. I have planned to attend the funeral at the ward building Sat. but maybe I'd better reconsider and watch it on satelite at home! Thanks for passing the tribute along. I'm so impressed that you have learned to do so many things on the computer. Keep going!

I bawled through the entire thing too! It really did make me sad all over again too. I already miss him.
thanks for sharing it! You are so tech savvy!

I am sorry that this made you so sad. It actually made me happy. I cried too but I had happy tears. When it shows pres. Hinkley crying at his wife's funeral I get amazingly happy for him. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to be a downer.

I'm happy for him too Ariann, I think his passing is like a promotion!
The picture of him at his wife's funeral is romantic to me, with all the media around his feelings for her couldn't be held back, it's really sweet.

Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for him too...I am just sad to see such a neat prophet, with such a sense of humor leave us. I know there is no other place he'd rather be than with his sweet wife!

Aubrey said it better than I did! It's the selfish part of me that is sad and I absolutely adore Pres. Monson who will undoubtedly be the next President, but I will selfishly miss Pres. Hinckley's little "funnies" for the rest of my life! I'm also feeling very sad for his children who will miss him dearly. I don't care how old they are. They will undoubtedly have days when they feel like orphans. I don't even let myself think about what it will be like someday not to have my parents living on this earth with me. That's why I'm sad. The emotion is tempered by the unimaginable joy he is experiencing with all of his loved ones gone before him. I think of the reunion he is having with apostles and prophets who preceeded him in death and imagining what it's like for them to "show him the ropes" and explain things about Heaven to him. Maybe it's something like going away to college but finding long lost friends and family to show you around campus!
