I dont really know what to say...

     Yesterday morning at 7:05 am Priest Hunt, a retired priest from my church, passed away. His daughters and sister were on the phone with my dad almost through the whole night, I listened in for most of it, he was being moved to the ICU but I thought he would be okay, I thought he would pull through. I knew he had to pull through. But he didn’t. I was shocked when I woke up the next morning to hear the bad news. It makes me think back to the last time I saw him, there’s a lot of ‘I wish’s’ I wish I took the time to shake his hand one last time, I wish I spoke to him more that last Sunday morning, I wish…

     He was a professional opera singer and he would sing ever once in a while with the piano or flute in accompaniment, man he had a voice that carried, he was good, real good. He reminded me of Abraham Lincoln, tall skinny and he had the same face, I always had a liking towards him and his talents even though I didn’t know him for very long.

     I suppose he went at a good time, service for the departed in in two weeks, i'm going to play a selection on the violin just for him, and this Sunday there’s a huge district service in Phoenix that I will be attending, the Bishop, District Apostle,  along with every Apostle in the country will be there, so prayers from them would be good.

     I'll be traveling to the service with my fellow youth member because my parents are in Vegas, they will meet me in Phoenix. I always enjoy trips to Phoenix, it’s a mini vacation, even if its only a day and a half, the ‘half’ day being primarily service. Last time I went to Phoenix with my family my dad actually took me to the aquarium, just him and me! Ill admit I was a little surprised he offered to take me, especially it being just the two of us, I can’t remember the last time it was just the two of us. It was so much fun! There probably wont be any time for things like that this time around, but good things often happen on trips to Phoenix ☺

(aw, that's funny, I ended this entry with a smile)
