Blackness

I had a thought today.
I thought about the darkness  following the Savior's death that was recorded by the Nephites.  The earthquakes, the floods, the tumult, the 3 days of blackness so thick that a fire couldn't be lit.
I thought about how the Father wanted the whole world to know his Son was dead.  He didn't want there to be any question in any one's mind that the world would never be the same again.
 
I'm fairly certain every parent who loses a child would like the world to go black for a time--just so there's no question.

Oooohhhh; never thought of it that way, but it really makes sense. I will always think of that complete darkness in those terms from now on.
