In honour of a truly amazing man, my Grandpa, Eric Alexander Moore. Promoted to Glory 28th Sept 2008, aged 90 years.
The world just won't be the same without you Grandpa, I will miss you always. We will never forget the "onky dooreys or doorey onkys", your ability to grow any sort of fruit (I'll forever treasure the times we ate all of Grandma's strawberries), the times spent playing in the choko vine, helping paint your fence (even if Kyles & I were ripped off with the payment!), and I'll forever miss the symphonic grand intros on your harmonica, introducing the key for my 'happy birthday' greeting! But most of all, I'll just miss the fact that you're not here anymore, cheering in my corner, regardless of whatever life decision I've made, always applauding the things I do well, and encouraging me in the things I don't do well.
But as much as I miss you, I'll take some comfort in knowing that you are finally where you've waited your whole life to be: with Jesus. May you enjoy the fruits of your life long work, enjoy singing with the Angels, look after my boys, and save a seat for me one day...
This tribute by Uncle David is fitting, and says it all: "You raise us up". You always did. Love you & miss you forever, Mel.
