The entire island knows our father, Fred Hemmings, Jr. – kids, adults, surfers, the governor, grocery clerks, gang members who call our house at night and threaten to kill us as soon as they get out of jail. Fred was a world-champion surfer and is now a well-known, controversial politician.
My sister and brother and I grew up speaking both languages – French to our father and English to our mother. But when we three kids are talking to each other, we use English.
My brother’s my teacher, my mentor, and we both learnt all the acting basics from our father.
My siblings and I were watching the evening news and we saw it flashed across the screen that our father had been shot… we just knew that something terrible had happened.
Our philosophy is always to search for the best quality. That is something our father taught us. It’s one way to be different from your competitors. You can try to be cheaper, or you can try to be better.
When our Heavenly Father placed Adam and Eve on this earth, He did so with the purpose in mind of teaching them how to regain His presence. Our Father promised a Savior to redeem them from their fallen condition.
Our Father which art in heaven – Stay there – And we will stay on earth – Which is sometimes so pretty.
I have a brother and we lost our father when I was 15. And that was a big emotional upheaval in my life.
I was the seventh child in a family of eight siblings. We lost our father very young, and my mother had pretty much single-handedly brought us up.
God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ, with Their perfect foreknowledge, already recommended every one of you to fill your mortal probation during the most decisive period in the history of the world.
Our father got us into skating and built us many ramps around our yard.
God truly is our Father, the Father of the spirits of all mankind. We are his literal offspring and are formed in his image. We have inherited divine characteristics from him.
Motherhood is not what was left over after our Father blessed His sons with priesthood ordination. It was the most ennobling endowment He could give His daughters, a sacred trust that gave women an unparalleled role in helping His children keep their second estate.

Think about the comfortable feeling you have as you open your front door. That’s but a hint of what we’ll feel some day on arriving at the place our Father has lovingly and personally prepared for us in heaven. We will finally – and permanently – be ‘at home’ in a way that defies description.
Each life is unique. But for all, repentance will surely include passing through the portal of humble prayer. Our Father in Heaven can allow us to feel fully the conviction of our sins. He knows the depths of our remorse. He can then direct what we must do to qualify for forgiveness.
All we ask is that we have peace with the whites. We want to hold you by the hand. You are our father.
We shared our father with the world.
We want to be brothers and sisters. We want respect and equality. Simon Bolivar, our father, said a balanced world – a universe – a balanced universe in order to have peace and development.
When my brother and I were 11, our father designed a 17-foot boat for sailing around the world. He’d never ventured more than a few miles from the U.S. He’d never sailed – or designed a boat before.
Some of us live a Christian life as if we’re always under the stern, watchful eye of our Father and he is very impossible to please… No, God delights even in our heartfelt attempts at obedience.
When I was a kid, we used to play this thing called ‘the writing game’ with our father. My brother and I would play it – where first person writes a sentence, and the second person writes a sentence, and the third person writes a sentence, and so on until you get bored and have to go to bed.
Our father taught us such a work ethic that if there’s something worth doing, it’s worth doing well.
Because our father played professional soccer, being in the spotlight never felt weird to me and my brother. We always felt we could do anything.
If I had to do it all over again, would I want my dad here? I would say no. Our world is in a better place because our father gave his life.
Each life is unique. But for all, repentance will surely include passing through the portal of humble prayer. Our Father in Heaven can allow us to feel fully the conviction of our sins. He knows the depths of our remorse. He can then direct what we must do to qualify for forgiveness.
I ask one more thing from our father above – God save Bolivia.
