Moore also emphasized the importance of embracing the present moment with loved ones, stating, “What I always encourage is to just meet them where they’re at. When you’re holding on to what was, I think it’s a losing game. But when you show up to meet them where they’re at, there is great beauty and sweetness.” New York Post
