Examples of Parents in a Sentence

  1. Oscar Cantu:

    I’ve read most of those written testimonies, and they are stories of tremendous faith, people who have been dealing with terrible suffering in their lives and have felt a tremendous spiritual consolation that Mary walks with us in our tears, i can’t help but think of my own shedding of tears for the poor people who come to our border, fleeing life-threatening situations. The tears of those children who are separated from their parents. There are many reasons we would shed tears, and God stands with us in those moments.

  2. Macy Gray:

    These are parents that have to live with that pain, a pain that never goes away. And you can’t fix it. You can’t take away that pain from a mother who lost her son or daughter through murder. But you can make some things easier, like helping financially with funerals. And the biggest request we receive is mental health resources. They all want someone to talk to, but they don’t know where to go.

  3. Lisa Keller:

    I know a lot of people think daycare is expensive, and it is for parents, [ but ] then we're also not making a ton of money, so to hire somebody, you have to have more kids, so you can pay them, and it gets tricky that way -- making sure you can find the kids so you can afford the help, but needing the help because you can have only so many kids. It's a balancing act.

  4. Brian Austin:

    We were best friends for like three years, we would spend every night either at Robin Thicke house or at my house. We went camping. We did all sorts of stuff together. If anybody was going to recognize my voice in this costume it was going to be Robin Thicke. Robin Thicke knows the rhythm of how I speak, the sound, the tone of my voice, all of that. Robin Thicke knows my voice better than anyone, probably aside from my parents and my family.

  5. Darren Wilson:

    You do realize that his parents are suing me? so I have to think about him.
