Okay, phew. Actually, thanks for letting me know that. I always like to know when something I've said of written causes an emotion in people, happy or sad, jubilant or frightened, or wistful. Or, y'know, if I said something funny. It's the reason I write: it lets you touch other people's lives from miles and miles away, maybe without ever even talking to them. 

Anyway. Monologue aside, I think my post now better fits yours in terms of consistency and definitely is more along the lines of the somber feel I was going for.
