Farewell

I still can't believe it.

I knew he was mortal.

I knew he would leave us someday, but I couldn't stand the thought.

That someday came last night.

I am so happy for him--

But so sad for us--

I loved his optimism-

I loved his sense of humor-

I loved how he could tell us to repent in such a loving way-

God Speed-our beloved prophet,
