My family and I had the opportunity to spend some time with President Hinckley (when I was a teenager), when he set apart my Grandpa as a Mission President. Being around him you couldn't help but smile. One thing I will never forget from that experience was looking into his clear blue eyes and feeling nothing but love. I was almost scared as I felt he could see through me into my soul, and yet there was no anger or disapproval, just pure and simple love. Something that meant a great deal to a rebellious teenager. He is an amazing man, and he will be missed.

I love that. He was such a great man, and what you say is what I always thought he'd be like, full of love and caring for everyone. How lucky you met him, I never knew that. So special!
What a really neat experience you got! He for sure will be missed by our family. What a neat man he was.
That is so true. He has done so much. We will all miss him!
He is an amazing man! We do love him and will miss him. Just remember he has his wife back =)
I'm just going back and acknowledging all the posts I read earlier when I was too emotional to actually comment.
It has been so wonderful to read about everyone's experiences and testimonies of President Hinckley. I was just thinking how amazing it is that so many people posted a blog in tribute to him today...what a cool way to share the Gospel!
