Something to remember is that Rand really misses Moiraine and while she was never his close friend they were getting close at the end.
Not really. Rand disliked Moiraine. He came to understand her value at the end - and respect her more and more, but not to like her.
Rand's feelings for Moiraine after "she died" are twisted. He started putting her on a pedestal, in part out of misplaced guilt about her death. She had also one major quality the others around him had not: she was no longer there! Had Moiraine remained, she most likely would have ended up in much the same spot as Egwene or Cadsuane in Rand's eyes.
