Thread Name: BS: Suddenly I am an orphan
Subject: RE: BS: Suddenly I am an orphan
From Dictionary.com Orphan: –noun 1. a child who has lost both parents through death, or, less commonly, one parent. 2. a young animal that has been deserted by or has lost its mother.
and I'm sure you meant to say "losing" at least one parent.
