Each individual will have their own sacred and private take on the passing of President Gordon B. Hinckley. A good friend called. Jamie told me. I wept. I was exhausted.
I know there is life hereafter, the reunions are sweet and the perspective aweinspiring. There is, however, a disconnect - speaking entirely for myself - between here and there that I just can't quite collect.
If ever in my lifetime from a perspective that I created there was an individual who expressed potential entirely through their actions, it is Gordon B. Hinckley.

My first thought after hearing the news, was about the sweet reunion he was having with his beloved Marjorie. How he missed her when she went on ahead of him! I wept tonight as I watched a little video tribute someone had made with the theme "Stand A Little Taller." That was his challenge to us to live up to our potential.
And now, my dear little and mighty brother, about that place you just can't quite collect . . . remember that our finite minds truly cannot comprehend infinite things. And that place is a part of eternity that we do not recollect at present, but we will rejoice when we arrive there! and remember it. So there is no need to let it occupy your mind. There are more important things for us to think on - such as what our condition of obedience and faith will be when we get there. That is something we can actually have some control over.
I wept too. Not often does someone have such an effect on so many.
