Your outreach and reaction to the situation is remarkable, the sort of goodness we pray to find in the world.
I want to underscore that it was a mistaken diagnosis.

Don't assume anything, not even that you understand the scope of the situation. Prophecy and mind-reading are not part of your picture, OK?
