“I am thankful that I have lived to see this day. I have sometimes said I have felt lonesome. I look around me and find Joseph and Hyrum and a great share of the Twelve have been taken away. They are now in the spirit world. We soon shall go there too – myself, brother Taylor, Brother Pratt and many of us are getting grey-headed – we shall soon pass to the other side of the veil; but let us do our duty while we are here, and all the rest, old and young, that we may inherit eternal life through Jesus Christ. Amen.”
– Wilford Woodruff, 1880

2 thoughts on ““I have felt lonesome””
Reminds me of my grandfather’s grandmother who was compiling an immense genealogy book and would say, “When I finally have this done, I can go…”
She published it in 1957 and lived until 1968.
Even though I am getting on in years, I am not all that nostalgic for 50s and 60s of my youth. There seems to be fewer conspiracy theories presently about communism, racial issues, and other aspects of our insularity as a culture in those times. As someone once said, “The best things about the old days is that they aren’t coming back.” Surely, someone somewhere has said that.
