My father and all of our family have been praying as well.

"Your father and I have been praying for you the whole time."

Sometimes her father had prayed a long time, she remembered.

During this part, her father would pray to the mountains for her.

While he is gone, his father prays for the mountains and the Deer Woman to watch over the boy.

By the time he died, my father prayed regularly to be spared such an end.

When the Morning Star, who is the greatest hunter of all, at last appeared in the sky, my father prayed to him as well.

She was not a religious person, never understanding the language in which her father had prayed.

Your father and I prayed for this moment.

"Good Lord," my father prayed suddenly against the twittering sky.
