Gordon Bitner Hinckley 1910-2008

This is one of my most favorite memories of President Hinckley! He carried a cane because he was told to, but he rarely used it except to wave to people. I have such a love and respect for him because of his optimism. He has been the Prophet through all of my teenage years and through my twenties. I have learned so much from him and am grateful to him for his wonderful example of how to live this life.

Like so many others, it is a bitter-sweet feeling to have him gone. Bitter because I will miss listening to him and learning from him. Sweet because I know he is with his lovely wife, whom he has missed so dearly. He has touched my life so deeply and I am truly grateful for him.

CPK


Tomorrow is my birthday and to celebrate my aunts, Patsy and Ruthie, took me to California Pizza Kitchen at the Gateway here in Salt Lake. I love it so much and my favorite pizza is the Chipotle Chicken! It is DELICIOUS! I had such a fun time with them. I always love getting together and hanging out. After lunch we walked around and went shopping. It was a great afternoon!
