I'm going to see your Grandpa Clarke. It's been so long since we've been together, and I've missed him. This is a good thing, so you mustn't cry! "Nad, I know you've been through a lot of hardships over the years. It's my fault for not protecting you better, and I'm truly sorry for all your suffering.
