I'm sorry if you found my post offensive/upsetting in anyway. It was not intended to be, but I am aware that it could be viewed as extremely offensive/upsetting, due to its extremely serious nature. I tried to make the joke aparent by including a smiley face. Obviousy this was not enough to make do for all the damage I caused to you, your friends and your family in the comment beforehand. I just hope you can see it in your heart to forgive me, as it was a joke gone terribly wrong. It deeply saddens me that the post would've been viewed as it was, and if I had known that, I would have put several more smiley faces and written 'LOL JUST JOKING GUYZ LOL' in my post.
Once again, I am extremely upset and sorry for you, as this has been a traumatic experience. Hopefully you find a sense of humour soon, as life will be hard without one.
