Grandpa,
I am writing this as a 20-year-old kid, which I know must be unfathomable to you because I was still only 17 when you died.
Time is simply crazy and impossible to comprehend. I am amazed at how different I probably already am than I was when you went. That you never got to see me graduate high school, obtain my college scholarship, or see my byline in a large newspaper saddens me beyond the limits simple words provide me with.
Two years is a long time. There is not any quantity of time long enough for me to believe that you're no longer with us. I can hear your laugh if I try really hard, and sometimes that simple mental exercise is sufficient enough to make my day.
I have done so many things since you have left us you would love to hear about. I am sure you are watching them from the container of my heart, but I know it must pain you deeply that you cannot respond, or congratulate me, or hug me.
It is amazing to me that so much of what is notable in our world today is electronic and widespread. Yet, this does not mean all the amazing and important things are present online. I could only find a single picture of you on the whole internet, grandpa. And it made me sad to think the whole world cannot know how great you were, but it made me simultaneously overjoyed to know that the people who knew you could never, ever forget that.
I love you grandpa. Please tell grandma to go to bed. She is exhausted (it is far passed 9:00).

Please accept my condolences. I am your Uncle Bob Moore's daughter living in Alexandria, VA. Recently Uncle John's daughter, Barb Paulus, re-connected with me and my sister, Sharon, so we have been trying to keep in touch with members of the Moore family.
Again, my sympathies to everyone in your family.
Sincerely,
Bobbie Merzazada
