I am a born again Christian. I'm not a Mormon, but watching this video makes me reflect on the goodness of God. I have a very similar story. Thank you for posting this beautiful story.

I am not one for crying. But as a 23 year old soon to be married to the woman I love, all I do is worry about how I will provide, what kind of husband and father I will be, and how I will overcome the pitfalls and profanity of our times. Speaking on behalf of young men my age, WE NEED MORE GREAT EXAMPLES. This video motivates me so much. Thank you!!

This reminds me of my Grandpa Lewis. He was a garbage man for the rest of his working life after WWII. He raised a family of 4 and he and my grandma were married until the day he died. He was diagnosed with MS, but kept working as long as he could to take care of his family. I miss him so badly. He was this kind of man.

My dad came to America with nothing for himself. He worked extremely hard to provide his family and seldom spent on anything. He then met my mom and they got married in the church.My parents had four of us were a family of 6 in a two bedroom house, but no matter how hard he worked he always had time to give us everything he could. Now we live in a 4 bedroom two story house and have been blessed countless times. I love my Dad's dedication to work his way up and I'm so proud to call him my dad :)

I am Mormon and an addict even though Doctors prescribe them for good reason.I mixed to many of them and after doing some gardening in the hot sun I woke up on the floor howling in pain and with a face that looks like I went a few rounds with Mike Tyson and only a Father could have saved me from death and that was my Heavenly Father -We are not bad people ,addiction is not a moral problem but it is a medical problem therefore .I can picture your grand meeting with your father in the celestial kingdom . I feel prompted to tell you he is so proud of you but to stay safe for the time of your meeting is not now -I have never felt a prompted promise in my life,but I had to write and add "Peace ,all is well! Call for me when you need me" You are never alone"

I so appreciate the video. I only grew up with my mother; her second husband abused her,so she got a divorce; she raised me and my eleven brothers and sisters on her own. When she passed away, I was 14, and I moved in with my older brother who was married and had two daughters. For the last four years, he has been the father I never had; caring, loving, and accepting. Though he is my brother, this video makes me think of him. I think God knew I would need a father figure, and sent me my brother.

Family first, provider, strength- the embodiment of Father. Bill has more than the richest man on Wallstreet. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36) Bad economies come and go not terribly affecting men like Bill because of where their heart and soul are found. We not only learn of a great man, we look inward and reflect on our lives, relationships and where they should be.
