Yesterday our beloved Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley passed away at the age of 97. I will remember him for his fun personality. He was down to earth and funny. I felt like I could sit down in a room and talk to him and be completely comfortable. I loved how he was so optimistic. It was never doom and gloom with him in a world of problems. Instead he gave me hope for the future. I have always loved this world that I live in. Like my blog name states, "Life is good". I love life, and living at this time on earth. I know there is a lot of wickedness but I still see so much good. I'm glad to be alive at this time on earth.
I was touched by the youth and one of my own children as they woke up this morning and dressed up in Sunday best and went to school to honor their prophet in his passing. My son told me one in ten kids dressed up, even kids of other faiths. I was impressed by their respect for the Prophet. The kids today are amazing. I feel my greatest joy in life is to be a mother.
