For something I knew was coming, I am surprised at how emotional I find myself this morning.
I think because the Lord blessed me with a strong and sure testimony of President Thomas S. Monson
being our prophet. I knew it to the deepest part of my heart. And feel so happy for him and the sweet
reunion with his darling wife I keep picturing. But I'm just so sad for the rest of us that loved this
gentle, good man who changed us with who he was and what he challenged us to do. He shared many
truths that made me a better person, but I will never think of him without remembering my favorite
thing he ever said, "I always want the Lord to know that if He needs an errand run, Tom Monson
will run that errand for Him." He was my hero and my prophet. I'm so grateful for his life.
