Our Dear Prophet

Our dear prophet President Hinckley passed away yesterday. We were all so surprised at our house and didn't know how to even take it in at first. He is the only prophet I have ever known and so wise and such an amazing man.

I think our daughter Eva had the best take on everything.

I told her, "Eva, I have some sad news...President Hinckley died yesterday."

she sort of just looked at me so I asked her, "Are you sad? Are you OK?"

and she said,"Well...he's with Jesus, right?"

and I said, "Yes, that's right." And then she just kind of looked at me like, Why would I be sad then? She said,"OK, he's with Jesus."



So sweet, even though I know she will barely remember him as she grows up, he had an effect on her life, he was her first prophet.
