The same thing with your grandmother, that happened to me. My aunt died of cancer (before I knew that people even died of cancer, I was perhaps nine), and I couldn't stop crying, because, not in spite of, the fact that I had never known her properly.
that you for understanding, and though that phrase is so terribly cliched, i mean it so earnestly that i can't think of any other way to put it. i haven't spent enough time with/around/talking/writing to you. i very much want that to change.

Hi lovely, I emailed you about an hour ago before I read this and I feel silly now for asking how you're doing. I'm sorry you're sad, but I'm happy that you at least have such deep empathy and that you're not like so many people who just turn their heads. I've been thinking about you a lot lately and would very much like to talk to you, or maybe write you a letter on silly stationary in a handmade envelope made from a page out of National Geographic. Love.
I don't know where you are, but when you get home I want very much to have a good long conversation with you. Not about anything in particular, I just have missed you very much in the past week or more.
...and if I ever /finish/ one of the letters I've started to you, that will be waiting for you as well.
I also just sent you a letter, totally clueless to all this. I'm really sorry about your grandmother. She sounds like a wonderful woman, its good that you got to spend the time that you did with her.
Too many sad/hard things landed at the same time, I wish I could give you a hug... A really long hug...

The only reason cliches are cliches is because they are so true.
Are you in philly or going to be in philly any time soon?
