Herold the Hero!

Today I just want to share my thoughts about a great person. Harold Huber, what a great man. He is such a funny, kind and silly person who really knew how to enjoy life, he was always smiling and seemed like he was always doing something for someone else. I knew this man as a teenager and I remember thinking what a cute couple he and his wife were, and the two of them loved Halloween which automatically made it on the cool list for me. I spent some time in their home babysitting and being around the whole family and they were always laughing and having fun. I went to youth conferences and ward activities and Harold always made things so much funner. He was such a goofy man in such a cool kind of way. Harold was also such a sincere sentimental person and I always loved it when he shared his testamony of the gospel because I could always feel the spirit so strong. It was a sad day when Herald and his family moved out of the Lindon first ward because I knew when ever I came home to visit they would not be there, I would not see how they all grew up(even though I believe the Huber clan will always be kids at heart)and how theyre lives changed. Now many many years have gone by and a few months ago I discovered Yo and Herald on facebook, I was so excited to connect with them and read about how theyre family had grown. I havnt been the best at corraspondance but it has been fun to read about Yo and Herald's busy life and house remodeling and grandkids and ward activities and vacations and such and once again now that I am an adult I am still inspired by them. Two people I dearly love and respect. This week I was hit by a bombshell that I didnt really think would have such an effect on me but it did. I discovered Herald has gone on to do a greater work for our Father in Heaven and even though I know this is the way the Lords plan works and I know Herald will be amazing at what ever the Lord needs him for it has hit me like a brick wall. I wish I would have told him what an amazing person I thought he was and how he had such an impact on me in my youth, I wish I would have told him I thought his remodel projects looked awesome and I wish I would have wrote and told him and Yo how much I love them and how happy I was to be in touch with them again but I didnt. It's been a tough week but I wanted to write this in his honor and challenge myself to do better, tell those people I love and appreciate and try harder to follow their good examples. I love you Yolinda and John,Lanore, and Ryan and all my heart and prayers are with you. Thankyou all for sharing your husband and Dad with so many people through the years, he will be missed dearly. I am so thankful for the Lords plan so we can see him again.
