Conversations with Gabriel
Conversations with Gabriel is an unvarnished window into the daily rhythm, quick wit, and occasionally bizarre reality of large-family life. Part memoir and part unfiltered parenting log, it captures the real, funny, and profound moments shared between a father and son that usually get lost in the noise.

Here is a short excerpt from Conversations with Gabriel:
SCENE 1: THE NOSTRIL AUDIT
Pondering cosmetic perfection in the front seat. Neva paused at a red light, tilted her head back slightly, and turned to Gabriel for a quick pre-arrival check.
NEVA: “Gabriel, look at me. Is there anything in my nose I need to be self-conscious of?”
(Gabriel leans across the center console, inspecting her face with the intense, clinical scrutiny of a board-certified dermatologist. He takes a long, uncomfortable beat.)
GABRIEL: “No. No boogers.”
(Neva lets out a small sigh of relief.)
GABRIEL: (Holding her gaze, entirely deadpan) “…But it looks like a spider made a nest up there.”
(Neva freezes, eyes wide on the windshield.)
GABRIEL: (Placidly, turning back to his window) “Green light, Mom. You are good to go!”
DAD’S TAKEAWAY: Never ask a ten-year-old a question if you aren’t fully prepared for the unvarnished truth.
