I don't speak html

So here is my story The Funeral. It seems I hand coded it instead of using word's save as html function. Go me. I inserted p's and /p's as needed. This resulted in paragraph breaks but no single space between paragraphs which (sniff) the purists of online reading insist must exist.

If I add an extra br between paragraphs I get double-spacing.

Why is this? An oddity of my browsers? Should I have used two br's instead?
