The photos released of President Hinckley leaving hospital after a surgery was the first time i saw him . i could feel how people were both happy and concerned about his health condition and the church future leadership.
his attendance in chile temple dedication/rededication was the next remarkable event i should mention about. I was really impressed by the spirit church injected to the people ,particulary young ones who would make huge effort to offer a warm welcome to him .when he started talking ,it sounds like he was collecting all his last energies to serve people who believe in church ..really touching.
his great sense of humor in 2006 general conference ( if i recall correctly) made it hard to believe he would surrender to death any time soon.
may almighty God reward him for his decent deeds .Enshaallah

Thank you for your kind thoughts, mindful.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
