Garbriel's breathing was even and deep. Jonas liked having him there, though he felt guilty about the secret. Each night he gave memories to Gabriel: memories of boat rides and picnics in the sun; memories of soft rainfall against windowpanes; memories of dancing barefoot on a damp lawn. \"Gabe?\" The newchild stirred slightly in his sleep.

But it was not a grasping of a thin and burdensome recollection; this was different. This was something that he could keep. It was a memory of his own. He hugged Gabriel and rubbed him briskly, warming him, to keep him alive. The wind was bitterly cold. The snow swirled, blurring his vision. But somewhere ahead, through the blinding storm, he knew there was warmth and light. Using his final strength, and a special knowledge that was deep inside him, Jonas found the sled that was waiting for them at the top of the hill. Numbly his hands fumbled for the rope. He settled himself on the sled and hugged Gabe close. The hill was steep but the snow was powdery and soft, and he knew that this time there would be no ice, no fall, no pain. Inside his freezing body, his heart surged with hope. They started down. Jonas felt himself losing consciousness and with his whole being willed himself to stay upright atop the sled, clutching Gabriel, keeping him safe. The runners sliced through the snow and the wind whipped at his face as they sped in a straight line through an incision that seemed to lead to the final destination, the place that he had always felt was waiting, the Elsewhere that held their future and their past. He forced his eyes open as they went downward, downward, sliding, and all at once he could see lights, and he recognized them now. He knew they were shining through the windows of rooms, that they were the red, blue, and yellow lights that twinkled from trees in places where families created and kept memories, where they celebrated love. Downward, downward, faster and faster. Suddenly he was aware with certainty and joy that below, ahead, they were waiting for him; and that they were waiting, too, for the baby. For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lois Lowry" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lois-lowry/we-re-almost-there-gabriel-he-whispered-feeling-quite-certain-without/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c59/lois-lowry-978_final-destination_we-re-almost-there-gabriel-he-whispered_3182695.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c59/lois-lowry-978_final-destination_we-re-almost-there-gabriel-he-whispered_3182695.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c59/lois-lowry-978_final-destination_we-re-almost-there-gabriel-he-whispered_3182695.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“We’re almost there, Gabriel,” he whispered, feeling quite certain without knowing why. “I remember this…” — Lois Lowry", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gabriel/lois-lowry/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gabriel/lois-lowry/", "name": "Gabriel Quotes by Lois Lowry", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gabriel/lois-lowry/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/991/lois-lowry-978_afraid_he-wept-because-he-was-afraid-now-that-h_769909.png" }, "description": "3 Gabriel quotes by Lois Lowry.
