Today we had the amazing opportunity to go to President Hinckley's viewing. I decided it would be such a shame if I didn't go since we live so close. It was truly great experience and one that I wanted my children to remember. Although we had to wait for 3 hours it was worth it. It was so peaceful to sit in the conference center and watch footage of our beloved Prophet. His lovely daughters also took the time to come in and talk to everyone and express their gratitude for all that came. They also laughed and said that their dad would say how silly it was that everyone was there to see him, and that he would tell us all that we had lots of other work to do. I was blown away at the amount of people that were there. He is so loved by all through the generations. The moment you walked into the hall of prophets the mood and spirit immediately changed. I did not even have to tell my children to be reverent, they just were. What a wonderful warm feeling it was. He was such a great Prophet, loving, funny, wise and lead our church so well in his thirteen years. You can't look at any picture of him and not smile and know of the love he had for our Savior and all of us. I will miss hearing his soft spoken voice. What a reunion in heaven it must be.
