Yeah... If it's any consolation to you, you were an amazing comfort to have with me that evening.
I do tend to agree though, on the TDOR "festivities," I spend enough time being depressed, that I don't need a day dedicated to it. It's messed up enough that a large enough number of us die every year that we actually HAVE a Day of Remembrance in the first place. I'm not sure - and my apologies to the families and friends of the deceased - that I'd be able to handle attending one of these things and NOT cry myself to sleep for a week after.
