To answer Anonymous

I feel I need to answer ‘anonymous’ who has left two comments saying I forgot to mention the most ‘important bits of news’ that President Hinckley passed away on Sunday ( mind you Anonymous left one of these comments on a post that I made on Friday so I don’t see how that could have worked). It was not down to the fact that I was ‘ignoring’ the issue or couldn’t be bothered to mention it. I didn’t hear the news until mid afternoon yesterday and to be honest after the day I had, it hadn’t had time to sink in and I wasn’t feeling in the best frame of mind to address it. So I was planning to say something about it today anyway.

I joined the church when I was eight so to be honest I don’t remember that much about the first two prophets of the church. I was 14(I think) when President Hinckley became leader of the church so I suppose the best way to describe it was his was ‘my prophet’. (I hope you get what I mean). I used to really look forward to his talks and even the longest and most uncomfortable of conference sessions seemed to fly by if I knew he was speaking.

So a great man has passed on but it’s hard to be sad when he accomplished so much, touched the hearts of so many and we know that he has been reunited with his wife.

We’ll miss you..
