Today was Grandpa Moore's birthday. Mom and I took the boys to the cemetery to leave a bouquet of balloons at his grave. When I spoke with Grandma Moore, who is in a rehabilitation center right now recuperating from knee replacement surgery, she was in tears she couldn't get to the cemetery today. She was so grateful that Mom and I and the boys could make the trip. We sang Happy Birthday to Grandpa and each talked about the things we loved most about him.
We all still miss Grandpa Moore terribly. It's hard to believe it was just one year ago we were all at he and Grandma's house celebrating his birthday with all the extended family. Although he was sick, he was able to participate in all the fun. He went downhill so quickly. I'm so glad we had that big party for him last year. Who would have guessed we'd be at the cemetery the next year to commemorate his birthday.
We miss you, Grandpa!
