THE ORPHAN BOYS

<p>Our interview is Phil Mew&apos;s recollection of 1976 onward to having his parents pass away suddenly in a 10 week period to what next.  Feelings as a child both him and his brother were under the age of 10 and his older brother had to get out of the house and help out too.</p><p>The Orphan Boys in 1976, the hottest summer for a generation and life was perfect for the two young brothers Philip and Roger. They lived an idyllic life on a farm in the picturesque dales of the north of England. With their days spent on the farm, playing on Tarzan swings, building dens and swimming outside, their perfect existence was plunged into darkness when tragedy struck the family. Within a ten week period, the boys lost their parents and were left orphans.</p><p>This is the story of Philip and his brother Roger, how their grandparents stepped in to bring them up and how a family and community came together to deal with the consequences that the devastation of death had left behind. Orphan Boys is not a misery memoir, it&apos;s a story full of love, strength and hope. This book is an uplifting tale of a family&apos;s survival and how they faced the huge challenges that life threw at them.</p><p><b><em>&quot;Little by little, bit by bit, family by family, so much good can be done on so many levels&quot;, Elinor Ostrum</em></b></p><p>Twitter @Phil Mews  <a href='https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWwzeDhMOEluRDl0cW1mZ3hUU0l5akZic2FJd3xBQ3Jtc0tsM0pGTVExVVZHUHNYQldiUURkaDFaREZFQXFfOHFLQTM1NjlKOGpnQWJEUXUySTFnR0V5N1pwX2lYdlpsbjEwR3pqdEs5UGZOM0lXcmphYmJVeU5NNWNldV9PUW1KOTlfdW9ua1RLTTFNb05MenRKcw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FPhilMews'><b>https://twitter.com/PhilMews</b></a></p><p>Facebook Phil Mews - Author  <a href='https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjRtc2FrNE1uNFBtZ09iemVTZUtjT0Jlc1kxQXxBQ3Jtc0tsMURpcUZZUktFSE5nd0VmWTBmbFZWYUpSSUdhbVdPYmtXZFBGcWFLMS13azhHYlBEYkZGMDJYOFFKYUN5aG5hU3BubjJOOHN5SGFqYkRPcUFrUUcxb19BS3RoM01jU2dVTGZMRUhnSWZaNE
