"And the Greatest of These is Love"

My last living grandparent, Grandma McKinlay, passed away earlier this afternoon. We knew this was coming, and we are all generally at peace that she is now relieved and in a better, more restful and comfortable place. She was a beautiful, kind person with an energetic personality - but what I think we all know and love her for the most is her capacity to love. She had so much love for her family and others. With all this in mind, I have to share this quote from President Hinckley's BYU address, given on Valentine's Day of 1978:

"[Love] is the security for which children weep, the meat and drink of youth, the adhesive that binds marriage and the lubricant that prevents devastating friction in the home; it is the peace of old age, the sunlight of hope shining through death. How impoverished are those who lack it, and how rich those who have it!"

Perfectly said.
