3 1/2 hrs later, we were able to see the Beautiful President Hinkley. It was really nice to be able to spend that time to reflect on his life and all that he has done for all of us. He is such a amazing man! We were able to see the celebration of his birthday while we waited inside. It was really nice also for Chris and I to have that time to ourselves! When we walked into the room where his body was it was such a peaceful feeling and worth every minute we waited. He looked so happy. Death can be such a beautiful thing. We were only able to see him for maybe a second, but it was just enough time to see his beautiful body and thank him. I put on the title Standing for Something, because we were defiantly standing for something and that was a memory that will last us a life time. Thank you Chris for going with me and sharing this memory with me. I will be forever grateful you did this with me and that we were able to see the wonderful Prophet and spend that time together. I enjoyed every minute with you and feeling the love our Heavenly Father has for each of us. A continuing confirmation that this church is True and that these Prophets are true servants of Heavenly Father. I just feel that we are so lucky to be a part of this, we are given so much. It is just a happy feeling to know we are loved and watched over, One thing I try to always remember is to make sure that I just live in this world trying to do whats right and not BECOME of this world.Saturday, February 2, 2008

That is great that you were able to go to his viewing, I bet the spirit was so strong in that room. I watched the funeral today on t.v. and just cried. I'm happy for him, but sad that my kids won't know him as their prophet like I did. He was the best.
I wish I could have gone to just to be near him, even if you only could see him for a moment, what a moment that was I'm sure. What a great experience that must have been. I can tell by the way you talk about the Prophet or church you have such a strong testimony and love for the gospel. It's always refreshing to hear that. So finally the kids are well so let's plan another get together.
Hi guys, it's been a while since we have gotten together. We should do something. Your blog is really cute, it is fun to see pictures of your family. That is great you got to go to Pres. Hinckley's viewing, I'm sure it was a neat and memorable experience. I wish we could have made it too.
what a beautiful post you made me cry. What a great memory. And something you can tell your boys about. I bet it was just wonderful to see him one more time. Sorry I didn't call this week. Hopefully we will talk this upcoming week! love ya'
How cool you got to go to the viewing. That is something you will always remember. We are so lucky to have had him as our prophet. Thanks for sharing your testimony.
I am so glad that you were able to go. What an experience that you may never have again. What a wonderful man that even in death he touches so many people.
