“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It’s the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.” -Lois Lowry

Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark. Begin at the beginning. Make some light. – Kate DiCamillo
When we tell the stories of our love and loss, we create narratives that help us make sense of our lives. This happened then this happened then this happened.
Like the framing of a house, the structure of our stories gives them shape and meaning.
Our memories light the structure of our stories. Light is precious in a world so dark. Let’s tell our stories. Our storytelling transforms us. – Alan D. Wolfelt, PhD.

This is a place to record your thoughts about, remember stories of, and be reminded of Gabriel Christensen.
For family and friends.
Our goal is to provide a place where family and friends can submit heartfelt stories, funny anecdotes, images, memories, -and anything else you can think of that might help all who miss Gabriel -and keep his memory alive.
To submit a memory or story, navigate to the ‘Share a Memory’ page (tab at top of page).
Feel free to submit as often as the spirit moves you. It can be a quick, short anecdote or a long-form story. No pressure. You can save it as a draft and complete it later.
Our only request is to keep it family friendly. The posts are subject to review before going ‘live.’
No Smack allowed.
Have fun. We thank you in advance. Your stories and anecdotes help our family, and his many friends, hopefully, to heel.
If you find yourself here, we hope you leave feeling a little better.
[There’s more at the ‘ABOUT‘ page].
[Quick housekeeping note: the ‘plugin I used for the post submissions seems to have a mind of its own. For example, you shouldn’t have to login. If difficulties are encountered, email Dave (goalnantuckt@gmail.com) and let me know. Thanks!]
