“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain.\u00a0 It’s the loneliness of it.\u00a0 Memories need to be shared.<\/em>” -Lois Lowry<\/p>\r\n

***<\/p>\r\n

Stories are light.\u00a0 Light is precious in a world so dark.\u00a0\u00a0 Begin at the beginning.\u00a0 Make some light. – Kate DiCamillo<\/p>\r\n

When we tell the stories of our love and loss, we create narratives that help us make sense of our lives.\u00a0 This happened then this happened then this happened.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Like the framing of a house, the structure of our stories gives them shape and meaning.<\/p>\r\n

Our memories light the structure of our stories. Light is precious in a world so dark. Let’s tell our stories.\u00a0 Our storytelling transforms us.\u00a0 – Alan D. Wolfelt, PhD.<\/p>\r\n

***<\/p>\r\n

“Anything that is human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be manageable.\u00a0 When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.\u00a0 The people that we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”\u00a0 -Fred Rogers<\/p>\r\n

This is a place to record your thoughts about, remember stories of, and be reminded of Gabriel Christensen<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For family and friends.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

To submit a memory or story, navigate to the ‘Share a Memory’ page (tab at top of page).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Feel free to submit as often as the spirit moves you.\u00a0 It can be a quick, short anecdote or a long-form story.\u00a0 No pressure.\u00a0 You can save it as a draft and complete it later.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Our only request is to keep it family friendly.\u00a0 The posts are subject to review before going ‘live.’<\/span><\/p>\r\n

No Smack allowed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Have fun.\u00a0 We thank you in advance.\u00a0 Your stories and anecdotes help our family, and his many friends, hopefully, to heel.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n

If you find yourself here, we hope you leave feeling a little better.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

[There’s more at the ‘ABOUT<\/span><\/a><\/span>‘ page].<\/span><\/p>\r\n

[Quick housekeeping note:\u00a0 the ‘plugin I used for the post submissions seems to have a mind of its own.\u00a0 For example, you shouldn’t have to login. If difficulties are encountered, email Dave (goalnantuckt@gmail.com) and let me know.\u00a0 Thanks!]<\/p>\r\n
