I grew up an orphan - which is anyone that loses one parent.  It was lonely.
I could only imagine did you feel sad a lot growing up?
Yes, I did.  There are actually some notable orphans that include world leaders and celebrated writers
So you are kind of related to some very important people from growing up around them. Was there many other kids there?
Sadly, there were many.  But it's interesting that some orphans were famous entertainment greats as well as some fictional characters too!
