You are right. I was wrong.

I was not thinking of that at all. I was at fault. I do not know him and had never heard of him. I was wrong.

I know that 20% of people in the U.S. are challenged by some form of mental illness, even if it is mild. We have got to make the subject of mental illness, depression and suicide more talkable.
