Extraordinary Ordinary People

by Hamish Adams-Cairns

I want to interview everyday people that I find extraordinary.Not the celebrities we often hear interviewed who - following the death of a parent - went on to make millions setting up a business or something similar.But ordinary - relatable people.I want to talk to those that lost a parent in their early formative years.I am not coming at this from the angle of a psychologist but from the angle of a friend encouraging the interviewee to share their experiences and give some helpful advice both to those going through the same thing and those trying to help their friends.
