what you saw in these characters and this ship ... is something very personal and for a lot of us it/they had personal resonances within our own internal landscape.

Thanks, hon. I chose to stay optimistic till the very end, and was repaid with ashes. I feel like Lee in TSAR. Feeling exhausted all the time. Went to the grocery and bought lots of comfort food. Truly, I know this grief is such small potatoes compared to the big things everyone is dealing with in these troubled times, but... I am still sad.
